"On the Margins of Citizenship" provides a comprehensive, sociological history of the fight for civil rights for people with intellectual disabilities. Allison Carey, who has been active in disability advocacy and politics her entire life, draws upon a broad range of historical and legal documents as well as the literature of citizenship studies to develop a 'relational practice' approach to the issues of intellectual disability and civil rights.
