ok really neat

from Mark Sherry's review of Soldatic and Meekosha in Disability and Society: " Meekosha and Soldatic call for a re-examination of the social dynamics associated with the politics of impairment. They are concerned that by concentrating on a discourse of ‘human rights,’ many of the problems experienced by disabled people are getting worse rather than better. The discourse of ‘universal human rights,’ implemented through the nation-state, has actually been used to justify human rights violations, wars, and Eurocentric and racist metaphors of non-western states. Furthermore, the hegemony of ‘human rights legislation’ as a way to address the concerns of disabled people has been ‘diversionary’ (21) because it has prevented alternative discourses and alliances that might involve redressing global imbalances in wealth, power and poverty. similar comments on CRPD
