Description

This book documents the purpose and history of the African Network for Evidence-to-Action in Disability (AfriNEAD) with the aim to showcase how to develop useful research with, for, and by persons with disabilities within the African context and beyond. Edited by one of the most prominent African scholars in disability studies and founder of AfriNEAD, this unique volume retraces the story of disability research in Africa to present a critical analysis of disability research initiatives in a challenging scenario. Drawing on African theories and contribution of disability activists, the authors describe the development of research networks and scope of practice in Africa, documenting the conceptualization and sustainability of this network. An invaluable resource to anyone interested in understanding what it means to do disability research outside the Global North; this book is a must-have for academics and practitioners willing to initiate and sustain an inclusive disability network.
