The ADA can lay claim to notable successes, yet people with disabilities continue to be unemployed at extremely high rates. In this timely book, Samuel R. Bagenstos examines the history of the movement and discusses the various, often-conflicting projects of diverse participants. He argues that while the courts deserve some criticism, some may also be fairly aimed at the choices made by prominent disability rights activists as they crafted and argued for the ADA. The author concludes with an assessment of the limits of antidiscrimination law in integrating and empowering people with disabilities, and he suggests new policy directions to make these goals a reality.Law & the contradictions of the disability rights movementPeople with disabilitiesLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesDiscrimination against people with disabilitiesLaw and legislationUnited StatesPeople with disabilitiesCivil rightsUnited StatesPeople with disabilitiesLegal status, laws, etc.Discrimination against people with disabilitiesLaw and legislationPeople with disabilitiesCivil rights342.7308/7Bagenstos Samuel R1680364MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807900503321Law and the contradictions of the disability rights movement4049048UNINA
