Why I Burned My Book and Other Essays on Disability (American Subjects) By Paul K. Longmore Temple University Press. 278 pages. $22.95.
The latest work by historian and activist Paul K. Longmore reveals the hidden history of disabled people in America and traces the disability rights movement up to the present.
Along the way, Longmore--who acquired his own disability from polio demonstrates how the perspective of disability rights advocates often conflicts with the views of nondisabled people on health care policy, assisted suicide, and other issues.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are fifty-four million disabled Americans. Why I Burned My Book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the history and the current issues of disability.
