Media Reviews
Most new books recycle existing thought, but occasionallya book comes along which offers a new set of ideas and a fresh perspective. This international compilation does both: it provides the familiar alongside the normal. - The Times Educational Supplement Disability and the Dilemmas of Education and Justice pulls no punches. It is a relentless critique of our current special educational needs system and of those who work in it. - Special Children A thought provoking and interesting book, that raises many valuable issues. Certainly worth a read for all involved in special education. - Education Review I have for over 30 years been concerned with the education of students with a variety of disabilities and of various degrees of disability, andbelieved that I had acquired a knowledge of most of theproblems experienced by disabled people. However, after reading the essays containedin this book my eyes have been opened to a myriad of other problems experienced by them, and for me the essays have opened up new avenues of thought on education as it affects disabled students.The writing of this book has long been overdue. - EducationToday ...a must for students...It brings special needs into the wide cultural arena which seems to me to be where it must be located as we moveinto the twenty-first century. - British Educational Research Journal This book is stronglyrecommended to anyone involved in special education. - Educational Research ...a book that will inform and enlighten even the most veteran andknowledgeable members of the special education profession...At the same time, it is written in sufficient detail and with enough backgroundinformation to allow its ideas to be accessible to newcomers or lay readers. Its authors' perspectives are fresh, informed by multiple sources and disciplines. - Qualitative Studies in Education
