Mark Priestley addresses the relationship between the politics of disability and community care policies. He argues that 'community care' contributes to the view of disabled people as dependent and different, thus reinforcing their social exclusion and marginalisation. Disabilty Politics and Community Care shows how involving disabled people in the design and production of their own welfare will break down the disabling boundary between service 'provider' and 'user' and will result in the reality of integrated living.
