About the author

Editorial Reviews

"With skill, Gadacz debunks stereotypes about disability and offers an analysis of disability as oppression, all the while attending to the ways in which this analysis is grounded in the experiences of people with disabilities." Sharon Dale Stone, Health and Canadian Society
