New review of Politics of Empowerment in Perspectives on Politics by Alison Gash.
"Politics of Empowerment mainstreams the politics of disability into a broader schol- arship on federal legislative processes and civil rights advocacy organizations. This, on its own, is a service to disability policy scholarship." "Pettinicchio reveals the significance of disability politics reform—not only as an important (yet distinct) story of civil rights policy but also, more broadly, as a window into agenda setting, interest group formation, and a rights evolution." Politics of Empowerment is the recipient of the 2020 American Sociological Association's Disability and Society Outstanding Publication Award.  |
David PettinicchioI am a sociologist at the University of Toronto. I specialize in political sociology, the study of inequalities and social policy. A key area of interest is how politics and policies shape the lives of everyday people and in turn, how citizens get involved in shaping those policies - for example, through advocacy and social movement participation.
