Conclusions: Policy Implications --$tBIBLIOGRAPHY --$tINDEX 330 $aWounded soldiers, injured workers, adults with disabilities, and physically impaired children have all been affected by legislation that reduces their opportunities to live a functional life. In Disability as a Social Construct, Claire Liachowitz contends that disability is not merely a result of a handicap but can be imposed by society through devaluation and segregation of people who deviate from physical norms. She analyzes pertinent American legislation, primarily from 1770 to 1920, to provide a new perspective on the mechanisms that translate physical defects into social and civil inferiority. 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $aPeople with disabilities$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xHistory. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 676 $a346.73013 700 $aLiachowitz$b Claire H.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01811134 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962588703321 996 $aDisability as a Social Construct$94362808 997 $aUNINA
