About this product
Product Information
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Americans with all sorts of disabilities came to be labeled as "unproductive citizens." Before that, disabled people had contributed as they were able in homes, on farms, and in the wage labor market, reflecting the fact that Americans had long viewed productivity as a spectrum that varied by age, gender, and ability. But as Sarah F. Rose explains in No Right to Be Idle , a perfect storm of public policies, shifting family structures, and economic changes effectively barred workers with disabilities from mainstream workplaces and simultaneously cast disabled people as morally questionable dependents in need of permanent rehabilitation to achieve "self-care" and "self-support." By tracing the experiences of policymakers, employers, reformers, and disabled people caught up in this epochal transition, Rose masterfully integrates disability history and labor history. She shows how people with disabilities lost access to paid work and the status of "worker--a shift that relegated them and their families to poverty and second-class economic and social citizenship. This has vast consequences for debates about disability, work, poverty, and welfare in the century to come.

Reviews
Integrates disability history and labor history to examine how, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the United States, people with disabilities lost access to paid work and acquired the status of morally questionable dependents in need of permanent rehabilitation."-- Law & Social Inquiry, Has much to offer historians of labor, disability, poverty, and public policy. By revealing historical construction of disabled people's exclusion from the paid labor force, Rose encourages scholars to think complexly about the meanings of work, the limits of the status of "worker," and the connections between market-based labor, social standing, and citizenship in American history.-- LABOR Review, Has much to offer historians of labor, disability, poverty, and public policy. By revealing historical construction of disabled people's exclusion from the paid labor force, Rose encourages scholars to think complexly about the meanings of work, the limits of the status of "worker," and the connections between market-based labor, social standing, and citizenship in American history."-- LABOR Review, Well worth reading. . . Rose's prodigious research. . . .[and] her reminder of how people with disabilities were integrated into early-nineteenth-century America can perhaps help families, employers, and American society reimagine disability and productive citizenship for the future.-- Australasian Journal of American History, Well worth reading. . .
