Examines hundreds of Hollywood movies, finds their place within mainstream society, & uncovers the movie industry s practices for maintaining the status quo -- keeping people with disabilities dependent & in their place. He offers a dazzling array of physically disabled characters who embody or break out of the stereotypes that have both influenced & been symptomatic of society s fluctuating relationship with its physically disable minority.
