Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Part 1 looks at how trust is broken in relationships, and what happens to the person on the receiving end. It explores the role that healthy boundaries play in protecting and healing people from further damage. #2 We are designed to seek out relationship and hope that it will be a positive thing. We experience a draw to find someone outside of our own skin with whom we can share life. We want someone to understand us and help us find solutions to our problems. #3 We are drawn to connection because we want and need it at a deep level that cannot be ignored. It can be pleasurable and fulfilling to love and be loved, and it can be painful and unfulfilling when things break down. #4 Trust is the oil that keeps the relational machinery running smoothly. It is not a luxury, but a vital component for any good relationship. Without trust, relationships cannot flourish.

What challenges are posed by changing transnational trends, agendas and movements that affect disabled people’s lives, and what can disabled people, their representative organisations and their governments do to advance the agenda for self-determination and inclusion? This book draws together the writing of academics and activists to depict the experience and perspective of disabled people in relation to a range of contemporary social changes, with a focus firmly on ways in which disabled people and their allies can act to counter disabling policies and practices. Throughout the book there is an emphasis on disabled people’s own voices and activism as the critical driver of theoretical critique and practical change. Chapters address a wide range of cultural, institutional and personal arenas to explore and contest the boundaries that disabled people seek to move beyond, from cross-border labour movements in Korea to experience of day services in England, from continuing and long-lasting realities of wars in Lebanon, Cambodia and Somalia to the beauty of harmony in Navajo traditions for understanding disability, from collective activism to individual participation in the Olympics. This book is recommended reading for students, researchers and activists interested in Disability Studies and is directly relevant to policy makers and practitioners in a position to reshape rights, spaces and innovations in response to the priorities disabled people feel and articulate are important for their lives. It was originally published as a special issue of Disability & Society.
