Another Disability Reader? People with Learning Difficulties and a Disabling World engages with the arenas of disability studies and the life worlds of people with learning difficulties. This text brings together a number of writing by and with people with 'learning difficulties' (aka 'learning disabilities', 'intellectual impairment', 'development disability', 'intellectual disability', 'mental retardation').
The contributions to this book develop ways in which disability studies support and understand people with learning difficulties as resistant human beings in a disabling society.
