Final Reflections

Abstract

This book has sought to explore the various connections between disability and poverty in this one context. Perhaps it raises many more questions than it answers, but I hope these provide opportunities for further interrogation and indeed research and practice that can make a difference to the lives of disabled poor people on their own terms. Over the next sections, I reflect backwards on the narratives to discuss the issue of rights in practice as they meet contexts of extreme rural poverty. Following this, I conclude this book by briefly reflecting outwards on the broader disability/global South debate.
