Reviews for Disability and Poverty
"This is an important and timely book. All too often we are told that there is a relationship between disability and poverty, but this is the first text which systematically examines this relationship, from a range of perspectives. The book will be required reading for everyone in the field." Leslie Swartz, Department of Psychology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
