Disability and Inequality Socioeconomic Imperatives and Public Policy in Jamaica

“Disability and Inequality provides an often overlooked analysis of disability in a developing nation. … Gayle-Geddes gives a thorough theoretical picture and supplements this with quantitative data from censuses and research, along with her own qualitative research to provide a clear picture of what it is like to be disabled in Jamaica. Furthermore, she does this in a way that is accessible and easy to read. I highly recommend this book to all of those interested in disability.” (Claire Meadows-Haworth, Disability Society, October, 2016)

“Disability and Inequality: Socioeconomic Imperatives and Public Policy in Jamaica is the seminal book that examines disability as a development phenomenon in the Caribbean. … this book is of critical importance to international audiences, including policy analysts, policymakers, health care professionals, educators, disability advocates, and disabled persons. … This book is the first in the Caribbean to analyze both quantitative and qualitative data as it looks at the environmental, physical, and social impacts of a disabling society.” (Jacqui Getfield, Canadian Journal of Disability and Inequality, cjds.uwaterloo.ca, Vol. 5 (2), 2016)
