Disability: A History of Resistance by DAC Vice Chair Professor David Turner

Congratulations to our Vice Chair Professor David Turner, whose book 'Disability: A History of Resistance' has been published by Penguin.

A ground-breaking history of modern Britain that puts the experiences of disabled people to the fore for the first time.

Despite there being more than 16 million disabled people in the UK today, disability rarely features in mainstream accounts of our past. That absence is not down to any lack of evidence: it is a forgotten, suppressed history – the result of deliberate choices about whose histories matter. For the first time, this book puts disabled lives at the centre of the story of modern Britain.
