Disabled We Stand
by Allan T. Sutherland
June 1996
ISBN 1-253-21255-3 $10.00
Allan Sutherland challenges the stereotyped passive roles that the
disabled have inherited from our society and the stigma associated with
various forms of disablement. He points out that people with disabilities
seldom have an effective voice in the organizations set upt to "help"
them. Institutions and individuals are reluctant to banish even the most
basic forms of discrimination -those that could be eliminted by the
provision of mobility access, sign-language translation, and the simple
courtesy of recognizing other people's personal needs.
The book is imbued with the spirit and energy of people who are
determined to take their lives into their own hands.
