Disability and the Sociological Imagination
About this book
Disability and the Sociological Imagination provides an expertly developed and accessible overview of the relatively new and growing area of sociology of disability. Written by one of the field's leading researchers, it discusses the major theorists, research methods, and bodies of knowledge that represents sociology's key contributions to our understanding of disability. Unlike other available texts, it examines the ways in which major social structures contribute to the production and reproduction of disability, and examines how race, class, gender, and sexual orientation shape the disability experience
