Who Is Worthy of Rights?

Year: 2023
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Efforts towards disability rights have largely failed to address the experiences of those living at the intersection of disability, citizenship, and migration. The authors draw upon multiple qualitative case studies carried out in Italy and in the United States and interpreted through the social model of disability and the Disability Critical Race Theory in Education framework to explore this intersection. They consider the extent to which national jurisdictions distribute children’s disability rights according to citizenship and migratory status. Findings from Italy and the United States highlight that disabled migrant children experience barriers to quality multilingual, inclusive education and access to relevant services.
