Disability Politics in a Global Economy

This book examines the legacy of Marta Russell, (1951-2013), an activist and prominent scholar in the United States and best known for her analyses of the issues faced by people with disabilities. It brings together distinguished scholars and activists such as Anne Finger and Doug Henwood, to explicate current issues relevant to the empowerment of people with disabilities. Drawing from various fields including Law, Political Economy, Education and History the book takes a truly interdisciplinary approach, offering a body of work that develops a dextrous understanding of the marginalization of people with disabilities.
