Can the Internet re-configure political participation to be a more inclusive experience for users with disabilities, enhancing their stakes in democratic citizenship? This book tackles this question by charting the unexpected digitalization of disability rights advocacy in the United Kingdom and the United States. As it reviews the implications of this transformation for the structure and leadership of the disability rights movement in both countries, this book reveals the role of the Internet as a key civic resource for under-represented groups in society and the organizations that advocate on their behalf.
