Lots of information about why, who, and how the ADA was conceived, re-worked, opposed and supported and a fair amount about what it is and isn't and has become - up to 2015 of course.
I feel dirty just reading about the politics of this. It's a very messy kitchen and no cooks are spotless.

Too many of the articles are just way too out of date. At least the dates should be printed at the start of each article with an explanation as to why it was felt important to reprint it 20 or more years after it was written.

Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .
Davis tells the untold civil rights story of the 20th century. Those who study social movements will be especially interested in how the Disability Rights movement accomplished many of its goals in ways atypical of other 20th century civil rights movements. Those interested in disability rights may find lessons here as the movement fights its next battles.

This is a good book for people who are interested in the specifics of how laws are made - the massive number of people involved, the clandestine meetings, the political maneuverings. If you're not interested in that, it's a pretty boring book.
