Disability: social aspects

Assessing the social integration of people with disabilities in an intra-culturally valid yet cross-culturally replicable and comparative manner is a crucial but challenging tasks for policy makers across the EU. Stigma has been shown to interfere with the successful implementation of public policy and hinder the social integration of people with disabilities. Navigating Disability Stigma in Poland's Changing Cultural Landscape: An Ethnographic and Quantitative Exploration of Social Integration in the European Context employs a mixed method research approach to investigate the stigma toward people with disabilities in Poland. Using a novel approach to existing methods in the field of cognitive anthropology, the author develops a quantitative and potentially cross-culturally replicable assessment of this stigma, offering a vital tool for monitoring social integration. This book navigates the evolving cultural landscape of post state-socialist Poland, where the discourse on disability intersect with shifting societal values and tensions surrounding independence versus state care.

Reviews for Navigating Disability Stigma in Poland's Changing Cultural Landscape: An Ethnographic and Quantitative Exploration of Social Integration in the European Context

Navigating Disability Stigma in Poland#39;s Changing Cultural Landscape offers an ethnographically rich and theoretically nuanced investigation of disability in Poland. As an exquisitely researched and carefully crafted study, this book reflects Hollemanrsquo;s deep commitment to understanding (dis)ability as a complex articulation between bodies, cultural models, and physical geographies in particular spaces and times. It thus raises a series of provocative and important questions about how we might deepen theories of disability to include more nuanced understandings of culture.
