Many people with knowledge of the Social model of disability think that model is all they need to know- Wrong!
Tom Shakespear, (Director of Outreach at the Policy, Ethics and Life Sciences Research Institute in Newcastle.)
is the main author in english speaking Europe who has attempted to go beyond that 70's show of Cliquey(blokey?)activist based models of identity politics.

His books include: Disability Rights and Wrongs,(Routledge), 2006. Disability and Postmodernism (Continuum) 2002and many more
