DISABLED PEOPLE AND ECONOMIC NEEDS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD: A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE FROM JORDAN
By MAJID TURMUSANI
This groundbreaking study examines the intersection of disability, economics, and social justice through an Islamic lens, offering profound insights for anyone seeking to understand human dignity and community responsibility. Drawing from extensive research in Jordan, Turmusani presents a compelling case study that illuminates the economic challenges faced by disabled individuals across the developing world.
The book employs a participatory framework that honors the voices and experiences of disabled community members themselves, moving beyond traditional top-down approaches to rehabilitation and social policy. Through careful analysis of Jordan's social landscape, the author reveals how Islamic principles can inform more compassionate and effective approaches to disability support, even within the constraints of limited state resources.
Readers will discover how communities grapple with competing priorities when poverty, unemployment, and health crises strain public budgets, yet still seek to uphold values of inclusion and mutual care. The work offers valuable comparisons with other developing societies, providing a broader understanding of how different cultures and economic systems address disability needs.
This scholarly yet accessible exploration challenges readers to consider their own assumptions about ability, community support, and social responsibility. For those interested in Islamic sociology, social justice, or community development, this book provides essential perspectives on creating more inclusive societies that recognize the inherent worth and potential contributions of all members.
