This assignment is not like a book report you may have completed in high school;

This assignment is not like a book report you may have completed in high school; you
should avoid summarizing or re-stating the themes of the book. Instead, use your book
review to address the following three questions.
a. What does the text suggest about the social and legal statuses attached to
disability? In answering this question, think about what dynamics the author is
addressing: How is power organized? Through what mechanisms or institutions?
With what consequences?
b. Based on the authors’ or editors’ approach to the issues or any explicitly stated
philosophy, what is the text’s underlying political and social agenda? The answer
to this question should not be: “the book’s subject is…”, but rather, an
identification of what the authors’ or editors’ want. What changes in policy,
practice, or social structures do they want to bring about? What are they trying to
persuade their readers of?
c. How does the text relate to the course reserve readings, lectures or other
materials? Be very explicit— citing other readings, concepts from lectures, films,
or speakers specifically. What does the text add to your understanding of the
issues we are addressing in this course? Just mentioning other materials is not
adequate. You should explain how they relate to the book or vice versa.
There should be around 850 words in the review The book is: Blinded by Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind by Osagie Obasogie
