Crippled justice : the history of modern disability policy in the workplace

This text looks at how postwar cultural values affected the rights-orientated policy in the 1970s and how this affects judicial interpretations of provisions under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It argues that this has created a lose/lose situation for the people the act was meant to protect.
