Description: Progress from the Margins is a groundbreaking international history of the struggle for recognition of disability rights at the global level.
Review Quotes: A compelling, hugely original account of the multiple prehistories, each with their own zigzag trajectories, ironies, and subplots, that eventually converged to make the marvelous achievement of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006 possible. Deep research, sharp insights, and captivating portraits of self-advocates and allies across the globe.--Dagmar Herzog, author of The Question of Unworthy Life: Eugenics and Germany's Twentieth Century
