The international disability rights movement actively promotes the CRPD's key norm that disabled persons mobilize in support of their rights under the Convention. The unintended consequence of these activities, however, is that local groups focused on social support and service provision, rather than disability rights advocacy, are targeted for change. While the resources provided by international actors to grassroots organizations provide new opportunities, they also create barriers to local groups' ability to promote the full civic participation of their members in the local community. Through a detailed account of grassroots DPOs in Nicaragua, Civilizing Disability Society demonstrates how local organizations navigate pressures from abroad as they attempt to concretely address the health, education, and economic needs of their members at home"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Spending down a grant -- Inhabiting Nicaraguan civil society at the intersection -- The problem with pretty little programs -- Grassroots members walking and rolling away -- Identity politics as the continuation of war by other means -- Innovation at the crossroads -- The CRPD's civilizing mission. 630 00 $a Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Optional Protocol $d (2007 March 30) 630 07 $a Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Optional Protocol (2007 March 30) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01912750 650 0 $a People with disabilities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Nicaragua. 650 0 $a Civil society $z Nicaragua. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Civil society. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Human Rights. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Civil society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862876 650 7 $a People with disabilities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057298 651 7 $a Nicaragua. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01228307 830 0 $a Cambridge disability, law and policy series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E67C81602DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
