A Disability History of the United States by Kim E. Nielsen

jenniferbbookdragon's review against another edition

informative slow-paced

3.5

Well researched and a needed examination of disability in US history. At under 200 pages, this is not a book that gets into detailed content about individuals or events,  but serves as an introduction and overview of a topic rarely addressed in history classes and books.
