| Inhalt: | The author discusses how pragmatism and American sociology influenced the development of disability studies in the United States. First, he considers how pragmatism shaped American thought, social policy and view of the world. Second, he shows how pragmatism combined with the early development of American sociology, including survey research and the social area studies and interactionism of the Chicago School, to provide a framework and method for addressing disability issues. Third, he analyzes how the disability movement organized, exerted political influence in the American context and shaped disability studies as a field. Fourth, he considers how disability studies in the United States was influenced by the political economy, embodying the American values of rugged individualism, capitalism and democracy. Finally, he reflects on the future directions of American disability studies. |
