Description

WHEELING AND DEALING evalutes the appropriateness of the biomedical and social models of understanding disability. 32 men and women living with spinal cord injury discuss their experiences and views on a wide range of topics including physical health, sexuality, dating, friendship, education, employment, religion and spirituality, and political and social ideologies. While respondents opinions challenge many widely-held myths about the disability, their views, are often at odds with those of disability activist scholars in the field.
