Ignored, Shunned, and Invisible: How the Label Retarded Has Denied Freedom and Dignity to Millions
J. David Smith
Historically, segregation and social isolation have been recurring responses to people considered defective or deficient in some way. This book presents historical and contemporary issues in mental retardation. It presents an examination of ways people have been misidentified as having disabilities, then needlessly warehoused in institutions.
