The message of this ground-breaking book is for us all to liberate ourselves from the forces that would normalise us into an unjust society. It calls us to embrace diversity and work together to create a fairer, more flexible social order in which all people - whatever our strengths and weaknesses - can live with dignity and self-determination. David Werner, author of Where There is no Doctor (Hesperian Foundation).
