<P>In the 21st century, disability rights have become a social justice issue that concerns all American citizens-access to safe, affordable, and effective health care, access to safe and affordable housing, access to reliable and efficient public transportation, and the ability to work and participate freely in the community and in society without fear of violence. Unlike encyclopedias or biographical dictionaries that only offer brief accounts of key topics, people, events, and organizations, this title provides important interpretive and analytical frameworks and meaningful primary evidence. The book opens with a chapter on the history of disability in the U.S., placing 21st-century issues and concerns in context. Following chapters explore important controversies and questions related to disability; bring diverse voices to the topic; profile key people and organizations; and provide valuable reference tools for exploring topics in more depth and to engage in independent research.</P>
