I'm a little torn in reviewing this book. On the one hand, it's probably a good first introduction to the field -- I feel like I've gone from a basic understanding of "medical model = bad, social model = good" to seeing the development of disability politics through multiple approaches and on to a more nuanced view of the social model, and then being introduced to the author's own radical disability model. On the other, the writing felt patchy -- some parts were clear and powerful and others felt repetitive and/or weak. In particular, for an introductory text it felt pretty opinionated in places.
