Based on eye-opening and deeply moving interviews with intended beneficiaries of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), David M. Engel and Frank W. Munger argue for a radically new understanding of rights-one that focuses on their role in everyday lives rather than in formal legal claims. Although all sixty interviewees had experienced discrimination, none had filed a formal protest or lawsuit. Nevertheless, civil rights played a crucial role in their lives. Rights improved their self-image, enhanced their career aspirations, and altered the perceptions and assumptions of their employers and coworkers-in effect producing more inclusive institutional arrangements. Focusing on these long-term life histories, Engel and Munger incisively show how rights and identity affect one another over time and how that interaction ultimately determines the success of laws such as the ADA.Chicago series in law and society.People with disabilitiesCivil rightsUnited StatesPeople with disabilitiesLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesDiscrimination against people with disabilitiesLaw and legislationUnited StatesPeople with disabilitiesUnited StatesBiographyinclusivity, disabled, america, united states, usa, true story, legal, litigation, law, lawyer, court, courtroom, case, access, accessible, civil rights, interview, beneficiary, ada, discrimination, protest, lawsuit, self image, career, myth, workplace, institutional, biography, identity, interpretation, analysis, academic, scholarly, research, disability studies.People with disabilitiesCivil rightsPeople with disabilitiesLegal status, laws, etc.Discrimination against people with disabilitiesLaw and legislationPeople with disabilities342.73/087Engel David M144187Munger Frank W1486630MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791784303321Rights of inclusion3706196UNINA
