Struggling for Social Citizenship
" I am not aware of any other volume that treats the CPP' s disability benefit so comprehensively and thoroughly. The CPP disability benefit is arguably one of the most important piece of disability legislation in Canada (along with human rights laws) and is a worthy subject for such detailed and rigorous treatment." - Mary Ann McColl, Queen' s University
The Canada Pension Plan disability benefit is a monthly payment available to disabled citizens who have contributed to the CPP and are unable to work regularly at any job. Covering the program's origins, early implementation, liberalization of benefits, and more recent restraint and reorientation of this program, Struggling for Social Citizenship is the first detailed examination of the single largest public contributory disability plan in the country.

Struggling for Social Citizenship looks into the ways in which disability has been defined in programs and distinguished from ability in given periods, how these distinctions have operated, been administered, contested and regulated, as well as how, through income programs, disability is a social construct and administrative category. Weaving together literature on social policy, political science, and disability studies, Struggling for Social Citizenship produces an innovative evaluation of Canadian citizenship and social rights.
