Series: Law, Society, Policy

Over the years, many disability-related rights have been legally recognized, but how has this changed the everyday lives of people with disabilities?

Drawing on biographical interviews collected from individuals with either mobility or visual impairments in France, this book analyzes the reception of disability policies in the fields of education, employment, social rights and accessibility. It examines to what extent these policies contribute to the realization of the associated rights among disabled people. The book demonstrates that the rights associated with disability suffer from major implementation flaws, while shedding light on the very active role of disabled citizens in the realization of their rights.

Reviews for Fragile Rights: Disability, Public Policy, and Social Change

This is a wonderful book with insights for anyone interested in disability studies, law and society, and the effects of public policy. Revillard illuminates the paradoxical and poignant ways in which people interpret and respond to the policies that shape their attitudes and life chances. Public policy can seem dry and technical, but this book brings it to life. Tom Burke, Wellesley College
