Download and read online ebook Dispatches from Disabled Country write by Catherine Frazee. This book was released on 2023-05-15. Dispatches from Disabled Country available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Catherine Frazee wants her readers to know that there is far more to disability than most people think or assume. There is much not to like about disability, such as the ways it diminishes status and opportunity, and the ways it requires medical intrusions which, even if lifesaving, are nobody’s idea of a good time. As becomes apparent in this powerful collection of writing, there is much more to the story of disabled life. There is adaptation and activism. There is art, philosophy, and history. There is solidarity, identity, collective struggle, and shared culture. Frazee offers a glimpse into a rich and delicate ecology of disability that warrants not fear and pity, but recognition and respect.

Download and read online ebook Sites of Conscience write by Elisabeth Punzi. This book was released on 2024-03-15. Sites of Conscience available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Into the twenty-first century, millions of disabled people and people experiencing mental distress were segregated from the rest of society and confined to residential institutions. Deinstitutionalization – the closure of these sites and integration of former residents into the community – has become increasingly commonplace. But this project is unfinished. Sites of Conscience explores use of the concept of sites of conscience, which involves place-based memory activities such as walking tours, survivor-authored social histories, and performances and artistic works in or generated from sites of systemic suffering and injustice. These activities offer new ways to move forward from the unfinished deinstitutionalization project and its failures. Covering diverse national contexts, this volume proposes that acknowledging the memories and lived experiences of former residents – and keeping histories and social heritage of institutions alive rather than simply closing sites – holds the greatest potential for recognition, accountability, and action.

"A few years ago, the Physician in Chief of our hospital, Dr. Perry Gray, circulated a note of complaint from the wife of a patient who had been cared for in our facility. The note described how her husband had been brought to the emergency room by ambulance, admitted to hospital and shortly thereafter died. She indicated that most of his care was satisfactory and, in some instances, even excellent with one significant exception. Soon after arriving in hospital, his CT scan had shown that his lung cancer had spread to his abdomen and he and the family were told to prepare themselves for the worst. Regular doses of morphine were started to alleviate his pain. He survived the night and early the next morning was still able to answer questions from his oncologist. Shortly thereafter, he slipped into unconsciousness"--

Download and read online ebook Disabling Barriers write by Ravi Malhotra. This book was released on 2017-10-15. Disabling Barriers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Disabling Barriers analyzes issues relating to disability at different moments in Canadian and American history. In this volume, legal scholars, historians, and disability-rights activists demonstrate that disabled people can change their social status by transforming the political and legal discourse surrounding disablement. Employing tools from the fields of law and history, this original contribution explores how disabled people have been portrayed and treated in a variety of contexts, including within the labour market, the workers’ compensation system, the immigration process, and the legal system (both as litigants and as lawyers). It deepens our knowledge of the role of people with disabilities within social movements in disability history. The contributors encourage us to rethink our understanding of both the systemic barriers disabled people face and the capacity of disabled people to effect positive societal change.
