voices from the Edge: Narratives about the Americans with Disabilities Act

I did not give five stars because I was mainly interested in researching on the discrimination by disability information and what methods of arguments I could use in making my lawsuit case. The book was good in showing how far the American Disabilities Act would go in applying to various cases of discrimination that can be claimed. I will use it as a reference book for further investigations of the ADA law.

As an advocate for rights of persons with disabilities, I think I've heard, seen or read it all. This book is powerful and made me question how much I know and how much more I need to learn about my own cause. Dr. Brown's and Marta Russell's writing are powerful. Buy at least 2 copies of Voices from the Edge, because you'll want to keep one (it will be filled with margin notes) and you need to send a copy to someone as a gift Thanks for this read.
