Klappentext
"Ed Roberts once said, 'The only limits we have are the ones we place on ourselves.' In An Independent Man , Scot Danforth shares the manifold and crucial stories behind Roberts's personal growth. What influenced the Rolling Quads, and how did they become such a vital force in what developed into a disability rights revolution? This is an important and necessary book for anyone interested in human rights."--Stephen Kuusisto, author of Planet of the Blind
"An Independent Man explores the history of a seminal figure in the disability rights movement. In situating Ed Roberts in the politics and culture of 1970s Berkeley, Danforth offers an important window into the life and worldview of a disability rights pioneer and fills a long overdue gap."--Ari Ne'eman, cofounder of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management, Harvard University
"This essential book shows how Ed Roberts and his collaborators cocreated a movement and generated systems and structures of access that changed the world. Groundbreaking."--Susan Schweik, author of The Ugly Laws: Disability in Public
