Provides a much needed perspective on the relationship between disability and citizenship in the Global South&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Engages the unique case of the South African experience at a time of ongoing democratic transition</div><div><br></div><div>Brings together an eclectic group of authors from academia, the policy world as well as civil society, engaging with hands on questions and issues surrounding everyday challenges of the disabled: from transportation, to participation in the broader economy&nbsp;</div>

“Most persons with disabilities in the world live in poorer countries, and in these countries there are often many barriers to their full participation in society.&nbsp; There is, furthermore, a strong relationship between disability and poverty. Despite these facts, most of what is known about disability, citizenship and participation comes from rich countries. This book makes a very important contribution to redressing the balance.&nbsp; A wide range of expert authors discuss topics ranging from political participation to sexuality, education to sport. The book serves as an important challenge to anyone serious about development issues in the Global South and I strongly recommend it.” (Mussa Chiwaula, Director General, Southern Africa Federation of the Disabled, Botswana)“This book is an extremely important contribution to global disability scholarship and advocacy. Bringing together leading voices from the Global South and North, the volume explores what citizenship and civic participation means for people with disabilities living in countries with differing cultural, political and economic challenges.&nbsp; It belongs on the shelf of everyone concerned with global disability rights, but it is no less important—should be widely read—by all concerned with politics, social justice, and human rights. Highly recommended!” (Nora Ellen Groce, Director, Leonard Cheshire Research Centre, University College London, UK)<br><p></p>
