Paul K. Longmore, Why I Burned My Book and Other Essays on Disability
Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare, Dec, 2004 by Juliet C. Rothman
While Longmore is an articulate and ardent spokesperson for people with disabilities, he does not share with readers a vision for the future, for a society in which all people have access not only in terms of architectural barriers, accommodations at work and on airplanes, and support programs, but in which they are truly integrated into the fabric of our culture and society. Building a disability community, and partaking fully and completely in the wider community that is our society, is a challenge certainly worthy of further attention and exploration!
