Education systems worldwide will only successfully serve the needs of people with disability when we inclusively examine and address disabling issues that currently exist at school level education as well as further and higher education and beyond. The chapters contributing to this edited volume are presented to assist readers with a critical examination of contemporary practice and offer a concerted response to improving inclusive education. The chapters address a range of important topics related to the field of critical disability studies in education and include sections dedicated to Schools, Higher Education, Family and Community and Theorising. The contributors entered into discussions during the 2014 AERA Special Interest Group annual meeting hosted by Victoria University in Australia. The perspectives offered here include academic, practitioner, student and parent with contributions from Australia, New Zealand, Nigeria, the UK and the US, providing transnational interest. This book will appeal to readers who are interested in innovative theoretical approaches, practical applications and personal narratives. The book is accessible for scholars and students in disciplines including education, sociology, psychology, social work, youth studies, as well as public and allied health. The Introduction by Professor Roger Slee (The Victoria Institute, Victoria University, Australia) and Afterword by Professor David Connor (City University of New York) provide insightful and important commentary.

How are disability and rehabilitation conceived of in different cultures? How can these concepts be made accessible? Studies from the fields of sociology, ethnology and educational science address these questions, whilst contributors from rehabilitation projects in development cooperation and from self-help movements highlight culturally different perceptions of disability. A distinctive feature of this reader is the dialogue it creates by bringing together scientific praxis and practical work.

Las publicaciones sobre discapacidad han estado circunscriptas mayoritariamente a las editoriales de salud, rehabilitación y educación. En cambio, esta nueva Serie Editorial, abierta a los movimientos sociales, a las plataformas de lucha, a los grupos académicos, a las redes de colaboración, a los hacedores de políticas públicas, a los ciudadanos y ciudadanas de toda nuestra América Latina y el Caribe y otras latitudes del Sur global, conjuga una multiplicidad de aristas, perspectivas y enfoques. El presente volumen viene a ocupar un lugar de vacancia en los estudios críticos sobre discapacidad en América Latina, que es el historiar las luchas por los derechos de dichas personas en nuestra región. Introducir una problematización histórica al respecto no solo posee una relevancia espistemológica y política, sino que también realiza una contribución al presente y a las políticas contemporáneas de discapacidad.
