Reviews
“Lara Bezzina's carefully crafted work illustrates the important role of disability advocates, activists and allies within the global south. An important work that examines key issues in collaboration with disabled people in the Global South. Highly recommended for disability researchers, development scholars and global south theorists.” (Karen Soldatic, Associate Professor, Western Sydney University, Australia)
“A welcome addition to debates about disability and development and a much-needed engagement with the lived experiences of disabled people in poorer countries. Lara Bezzina draws on postcolonial theory and participatory research in Burkina Faso to enrich understanding of development processes affecting disabled people in the global South. By foregrounding their experiences, this book makes an important contribution to building inclusive and effective development strategies for disabled people in countries where they experience multiple forms of marginalisation.” (Cheryl McEwan, Professor, Durham University, UK)
