What is it like to get – and work in – employment for people living with disabilities in South Africa?

For those living with physical and sensory disabilities, the path to employment can be beset with challenges and discrimination, not to mention the difficulties faced when someone does manage to get a job. Drawing extensively from first-hand accounts, this book explores these experiences, considering the landscape and calling for more inclusive employment practices.

Ideal reading for students of Disability Studies, African Studies, Human Resource Management, Anthropology, Sociology, and related courses, this will also be of interest to practitioners and trainees in social work, employment policy, and parasocial support.
