{"product_id":"education-and-disability-in-cross-cultural-perspective","title":"Education and Disability in Cross-Cultural Perspective","description":"A radical departure from previous chronicles of education for people with disabilities, this book views special education from a broader perspective. Its central thesis is that cultural values and expectations play a dominant role in understanding the structure and function of special education. While theories of the social construction of disability have been written about in a growing body of research since the 1960s, no attempt has been made to create a cross-cultural framework. This work offers such a framework. Eight chapters, written by educators in each country's educational system cover the following nations: China, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, Iran, Pakistan, United States, and Zimbabwe. Historical discussions in each chapter provide a context for current practice. An index and illustrations are also included.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246338167128,"sku":"9781138968370","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138968370.jpg?v=1769627718","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/education-and-disability-in-cross-cultural-perspective","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
