This book develops the theory of social citizenship in a way that is relevant to current analyses of the future of the welfare state. It examines the role community care policy and practice plays in shaping disabled people's citizenship in the UK, providing compelling evidence of the ways in which the welfare state can either support, or act as a barrier to disabled people's social participation. The author lays out a challenge to the current relationship between disabled people and the welfare state.
