Jenny Morris

In Pride Against Prejudice, Jenny Morris challengeswith passion, authority, and convictionthe reality of being different. Among the topics she covers are: current and historical debates on the quality of disabled peoples lives; the way disability is represented within Western culture; institutionalization and independence; feminist research and community care; and the politics of the disability movement. She asserts that, for too long, non-disabled people have not only defined the experience of disability but have had control over disabled peoples lives. This important book has grown out of an emerging organization of disabled people who are part of a powerful new culture.

This thought-provoking report addresses the question 'What gets in the way of changing the care system for children?' Drawing on the expertise of looked after children as well as child care professionals, it identifies the barriers to, and the opportunities for, bringing about change in the care system. At a time of unprecedented government attention to this area of social policy and practice, this report is essential reading for health and social work professionals, decision and policy-makers.
