Book Synopsis

Scholars have long recognized the media's role in shaping and reflecting the way we see the world, ourselves, and others. In particular, they have understood that the media plays a vital part in the social and cultural construction of disability.

And how are attitudes towards people with disabilities constantly reinscribed through media such as television, film, and the Internet?
