TYPE......: Book
ACCESS....: SEE BELOW
Written in 1998 by a disabled activist who had cerebral palsy, this is one of the sharpest early arguments that disability is produced by economics, not just by attitudes or architecture. Russell shows how the market decides whose bodies get counted as worth accommodating. A foundational political economy text and a natural companion to the Marta Russell collection already in this catalog.
