A Disability History of the United StatesA Disability History of the United States

Covers the entirety of U.S. disability history, from pre-1492 to the present. This book pulls from primary-source documents and social histories to retell American history through the eyes, words, and impressions of the people who lived it. To understand disability history isn't narrowly focused on a series of individual triumphs but rather to examine mass movements and pivotal daily events through the lens of varied experiences.
