From Good Will To Civil Rights: Transforming Federal Disability Policy (Health Society And Policy)

Richard K. Scotch

4.9/5 (16957 ratings)

Description:Now that curb cuts, braille elevator buttons, and closed caption television are commonplace, many people assume that disabled people are now full participants in American society. This book tells a rather different story. It tells how America's disabled mobilized to effect sweeping changes in public policy, not once but twice, and it suggests that the struggle is not yet over. The first edition of "From Good Will to Civil Rights" traced the changes in federal disability policy, focusing on the development and implementation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.Richard K. Scotch's extensive interviews with policymakers, leaders of the disability rights movement, and other advocates, supplemented the sketchy official history of the legislation with the detailed, behind-the-scenes story, illuminating the role of the disability rights movement in shaping Section 504. Charting the shifts in policy and activist agendas through the 1990s, this new edition surveys the effects and disappointments associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act, passed in 1990, in the context of the continuing movement to secure full civil rights for disabled people. Richard K.Scotch is Professor of Sociology and Political Economy School of Social Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
