- Synopsis
- In this study, Titchkosky analyzes the depiction of disabled people in the mass media. Through an examination of everyday texts such as news stories and government surveys, she uncovers and critiques a Western cultural assumption that sees disability as a clear-cut "problem" in need of a solution. Titchkosky (disability studies, U. of Toronto) is also the author of Disability, Self, and Society (2003). Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
