No Pity: People with Disabilities Forging a New Civil Rights Movement, Pre-Owned (Paperback)

"A sensitive look at the social and political barriers that deny disabled people their most basic civil rights."--The Washington Post "The primer for a revolution."--The Chicago Tribune "Nondisabled Americans do not understand disabled ones. This book attempts to explain, to nondisabled people as well as to many disabled ones, how the world and self-perceptions of disabled people are changing. It looks at the rise of what is called the disability rights movement--the new thinking by disabled people that there is no pity or tragedy in disability and that it is society's myths, fears, and stereotypes that most make being disabled difficult."--from the Introduction
