Constructions of Disability discusses the meanings of'inclusion' through an exploration of the interactions between non-disabled and disabled people at a community leisure center. In exploring the nature of this interface, the book takes a very different approach of that of existing texts, which have tended to concentrate solely on disabled people's experiences of exclusion. The author, herself disabled, looks at oppressive practice towards women and people from minority ethnic groups, drawing parallels between their experiences. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
