Beautiful Retard" is a novel dealing with the trials and tribulations of a 16-year-old mentally disabled boy and his Special Education teacher. In the story, we follow Jasons teacher Joan Perkins and her difficulties, both with Jasons inexplicable behavioural and aggression problems, as well as the friction by the administration of the high school where she heads the new Disabled Integration program. Jasons life is riddled with sadness. Verbally abused by people everywhere; young and old, leads Jason to a feeling of isolation and depression. Rejected at an early age by most everyone around him, he is left under the care of an uncaring father, who is constantly grumbling about the hassles of his disabled son. This denunciation by his own father leads to an inner hostility in Jason, which begins to surface in various forms. Joan is constantly under attack from the administration because of Jasons sometimes improper behaviour, and ultimately the value of both her program, and having Jason at school, is compromised. It is up to Joan, and Jason, to convince everyone; Jasons father, his peers, and the administration itself, that the Disabled Integration program is important. But in order to accomplish this, Joan must use Jasons supreme virtuousness as an awakening against all of the bigots and pundits toward the progress of disabled people everywhere. Beautiful Retard pertains to the difficulties Mentally Challenged children face trying to fit in, both in the public education system and in society. The story typifies a struggle with both the teacher trying to lessen the ignorance of both the administration and the public, and at the same time prove the value of the Special Education program. The book is educational in many aspects, so the reader is not only drawn into the story, but at the same time is taught valuable life lessons from the teachers ambitiousness and Jasons unbridled childlike wisdom.

Sport is often at the centre of battles for rights to inclusion linked to class, race and gender, and this book explores struggles centred on disability in different cultural settings in Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Oceania. It challenges oversights and assumptions about the ‘normal’ body, and describes how individual and organizational transformations can occur through sport. The abilities of a person are recognised and placed centre stage - instead of the individual being forgotten, excluded, or placed at the margins simply because they have a disability. National, regional and global change is part of the shift to the rights based approach reflected in the 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Making sport inclusive affects the accessibility of facilities, funding, the media, policies, programs, organisations, sponsors and spectators, and at the same time changes the cultural values of the wider society. It also raises issues about competition access and eligibility for ‘different’ and technologically enhanced ‘cyborg’ bodies, and for those most socially disadvantaged. Addressing these questions which ultimately touch on the real meaning of sport can lead to profound changes in people’s attitudes, and how sport is organized locally and globally. Growth in the influential global organisations of the Paralympic Games, Special Olympics and Deaflympics is examined, as is the approach to disability in sport in both advantaged and resource poor countries. The embodied lives of persons with disabilities are explored utilizing new theoretical models, perspectives and approaches. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
