Disability across continentsevolving policies and cultural shifts in Asia and Africa /[electronic resource] :by Ramakrishnan Veerabathiran, Sheena Mariam Thomas. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xxi, 115 p. :ill.

Cultural Perspectives on Disability in Asian and African Continents -- Disability Rights and Policy in Asian and African Continents -- Socioeconomic Challenges Faced by Disable People in Both Continents -- Technological Advancements on Disability on Both Continents -- Social Inclusion and Representation in Asian and African Continents.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the shifting landscape of disability rights and policies across two culturally rich and diverse continents. By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book integrates historical, cultural, socioeconomic, and technological perspectives on disability, providing readers with a broad understanding of the issues faced by disabled individuals in Asia and Africa. It examines the evolution of disability rights over time and the varying impacts of these changes on different communities. From traditional beliefs to modern societal structures, the book highlights how indigenous knowledge and local practices influence attitudes toward disability. A unique feature of the book is its focus on underexplored areas, such as the role of media in shaping disability narratives, the importance of sports in promoting social inclusion, and the rise of emerging technologies like AI and assistive devices in enhancing accessibility. By also focusing on grassroots movements, the growing influence of young advocates, and the need for sustainable future policies, the book not only reflects on past and present challenges but also offers forward-looking solutions. It serves as a vital resource for understanding how policy changes and cultural shifts can lead to more inclusive societies across Asia and Africa.
