Description

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is increasingly used to civilize grassroots disabled persons' organizations (DPOs) around the world. The international disability rights movement actively promotes the CRPD's key norm that disabled persons mobilize in support of their rights under the Convention. The unintended consequence of these activities, however, is that local groups focused on social support and service provision, rather than disability-rights advocacy, are targeted for change. While the resources provided by international actors to grassroots organizations provide new opportunities, they also create barriers to local groups' ability to promote full civic participation of their members in the local community. Through a detailed account of grassroots DPOs in Nicaragua, Civilizing Disability Society demonstrates how local organizations navigate pressures from abroad as they attempt to concretely address the health, education and economic needs of their members at home. Review 'Through an in-depth exploration of the context and narratives of the Nicaraguan disability community, the author provides a unique, interesting and heads on reality check for CRPD implementation and disability rights advocacy in the Global South.' Maya Sabatello, Columbia University, New York'This fascinating study shines a spotlight on the realities and experiences of Nicaraguan disabled people's organisations, which are shaped by both the rights-based perspective embedded in the UNCRPD and Nicaragua's civic participation model of solidaridad. Meyers' insightful analysis brings to the surface uncomfortable tensions that often exist between Western understandings of human rights and local interpretations, particularly in Southern contexts. This excellent book is highly engaging and surprisingly revealing - a wake-up call for the international disability rights movement and an essential read for anyone who is interested in how best to meet the challenge of implementing disability rights around the globe without alienating disabled people themselves.' David Cobley, University of Birmingham Book Description Investigates the tensions caused by the CRDP as grassroots disability associations attempt to address their local members' needs. About the Author Stephen J. Meyers is an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington with joint appointments in Law, Societies and Justice, International Studies, and Disability Studies. He has close to two decades of experience working with grassroots disability associations in the Global South as a researcher, advocate, and project implementer.
