      This book is dedicated to Suzy and our grandchildren, from oldest to youngest, Charlie, Abigail, Mattie, Adam, Ryan, Poppy, Evie, Martha, Elsie, Isobel and Amy. If there’s any hope at all for planet Earth and all of us upon it, then it lies with future generations like theirs, who hopefully will have more say over the ideologies they live with than we have so far managed to achieve. All strength to them and I hope this book will help them!

      Writing this book has felt like trying to take one more big step in making sense of increasing people’s say and involvement in their lives and worlds. This has been my life’s work and during the course of it I have incurred many debts, gained many colleagues and friends, and learned much from others. It simply is true that I – like the rest of us working to increase people’s participation – would never have got to where I am without the help of very many others. As ever, there are many people I have to thank for whatever is good about this book. So I need to say a big general thank you. I also need to thank the team at Policy Press, particularly Ali Shaw for having faith in this book and bringing it to fruition, to everyone in Shaping Our Lives for all they have made possible, and to colleagues over many years at Brunel University London, the University of East Anglia and the University of Essex. Thank you all my friends and colleagues in the disabled people’s and survivors’ movements for all I have learned from you and working together, and not least my many Twitter friends who prove that social media can be a source of knowledge, strength, understanding, wisdom and support as well as cause for complaint. Thank you to all the students and colleagues I have worked with at universities who have shown real commitment to people’s participation. Thank you yet again to my partner Suzy Croft for all her help and support, even as she worked as a welfare rights worker to support disabled people victimised by ‘welfare reform’.

      I also want to thank the reviewers of earlier versions of this book. Particularly I want to thank one of them, Lee Gregory. He went more than the СКАЧАТЬ
