Autor Rebecca Yeo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2025
Drawing on many years of research and activism, this book argues that insights from the disabled people’s movement, particularly the original Social Model of Disability, can be usefully extended to focus resistance on the disabling restrictions imposed on people subject to asylum and immigration controls.

Recenzii

This is a must-read book for anyone with any interest in social justice. It is also a call to arms for activists in both the disability and immigration sectors to learn from each other, to unite, and to build solidarity in the fight for a better future for us all.
Ellen Clifford, Disabled activist, member of the national Steering Group of Disabled People Against Cuts and author of The War on Disabled People published by Zed Books which won the 2021 Bread and Roses award. 
 
We’ve needed this book for a long time! Immigration activists have much to learn from the disabled people’s movement, and particularly from disabled asylum seekers. Rebecca Yeo is a committed, inspiring and comprehensive guide to this important emerging field.
 
Professor Bridget Anderson, Director Migration Mobilities Bristol, University of Bristol
 
In this thoroughly well-argued book, Rebecca Yeo shows both how asylum systems produce injustice for disabled people, and that migration studies has much to learn from disability studies. This is a treasure trove not just for migration studies, but also for activists fighting for justice.
 
Willem Schinkel, Professor of Social Theory, Erasmus University Rotterdam
 
This book and Rebecca Yeo's work more generally is essential for anyone trying to make sense of the current state of oppression and its intersectional nature. Crucially, it also provides a template to explore ways out of it.
 
Dr Aurelien Mondon, Senior lecturer, Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies. University of Bath
 
This book offers compelling insights into the potential to bring together disabled citizens with people in the asylum system, refugees and allies in a much-needed movement of solidarity to resist and reimagine the current systems that debilitate, disable and devalue vast swathes of people – and planet – in the narrow pursuit of profit
 
Dr Sarah Bell, Senior Lecturer, Disability & Climate. University of Exeter
