Series Statement:
Interdisciplinary disability studies
Content:
"This book uses the status of disabled people to examine what happens when previously marginalised groups of citizens get equal citizenship rights but cannot fully enjoy their rights because of structural inequality. As the first work to draw together disability studies and citizenship studies, it is situated in the tradition of social stratification studies, and proposes an original conceptualisation of disability as a social division in its own right. In addition to providing original theoretical perspectives on citizenship and disability, it is grounded in the empirical analysis of the claims of disability activists in Sweden. Despite the country's generous and universal welfare state, problems of inequality and domination persist, but this book highlights proactive ideas and solutions for constructing a more equal citizenship. It will be of interest to scholars, disability activists and policymakers in the fields of disability studies, politics, civics and citizenship, social activism, sociology and social inequality"--

"This is not citizenship" -- Exploring the construction of citizenship in Sweden -- Understanding disability and disability activism -- Analysing the claims of disability activists in Sweden -- What problems do the disability activists highlight? -- What solutions do the disability activists propose? -- Understanding the disability activists' claims through the lens of citizenship.
