A Historical Sociology Of Disability by Bill Hughes
A historical-sociological account of disability that traces how economic change, medical knowledge, welfare institutions and state policies have shaped the meanings, experiences and social organization of impairment from the nineteenth century to the modern welfare state. It situates disablement in relations of labor, professionalization, bureaucratic classification and power—showing how institutionalization, rehabilitation, eugenic thinking and administrative categories produced exclusion—while also examining the emergence of rights movements and policy shifts that contested exclusion and sought to reconfigure citizenship and social inclusion.
