       discussion of disability rights by documenting this "eyes 
       on the prize "moment for tens of millions of American 
       citizens. 
520    Chronicles the history of the Americans with Disabilities 
       Act, using interviews with legislators and activists to 
       describe how the bipartisan bill became the most 
       comprehensive civil rights legislation passed in the 
       United States. 
520    "The first significant book on the history and impact of 
       the ADA--the "eyes on the prize" moment for disability 
       rights     The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is 
       the widest-ranging piece of civil rights legislation ever 
       passed in the history of the United States, and it has 
       become the model for most civil rights laws around the 
       world. The untold story behind the act is anything but a 
       dry account of bills and speeches, however. Rather, it's a
       fascinating story of how a group of leftist Berkeley 
       hippies managed to make an alliance with upper-crust, 
       conservative Republicans to bring about a truly bipartisan
       bill.  In this riveting account, acclaimed disability 
       scholar Lennard J. Davis tells the behind-the-scenes and 
       on-the-ground story of a too-often ignored or forgotten 
       civil rights fight, while illustrating the successes and 
       shortcomings of the ADA in areas ranging from employment, 
       education, and transportation to shifting social 
       attitudes. Published for the twenty-fifth anniversary of 
       the ADA, this book promises to powerfully ignite readers 
       in a discussion of disability rights in America"--
