内容説明

A person may be legally blind, yet not ""blind enough"" to qualify for social services. Beth Omansky explores the lives of people with legal blindness to show how society responds to those who don't fit neatly into the disabled/nondisabled binary. Probing the experience of education, rehabilitation, and work, as well as the more intimate spheres of religion, family, and romantic relationships, her frank and theoretically sophisticated portrait of the legally blind experience offers an original insight into our understanding of the social construction of disability.|A person may be legally blind, yet not ""blind enough"" to qualify for social services.
