Criticizing the individual approach to the treatment of disabled people in South Africa and supporting the social model, contributors to this volume (who consist of disabled South Africans, educators, parents, linguists, psychologists, human-rights activists, health practitioners, academics, and government officials) consider the link between discrimination and economic and social issues. In the 27 essays, they address theoretical approaches and representations of disability in the country, governmental and civil society responses, education, poverty and social security, service provision, and human spaces in relation to disability. Watermeyer, a clinical psychologist, et al. assemble essays on the daily lives of disabled citizens as well as how physical environments, policies, practices, conventions, laws, beliefs, and culture reproduce the disadvantage of these individuals. Books from Human Sciences Research Council, based in South Africa, are distributed in the US by Independent Publishers Group. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
