abstract="Many spinal cord injured people in Soweto are victims of direct, repressive state violence, such as police shootings. All of them are victims of the indirect structural violence that is institutionalized against both blacks and disabled people in South Africa. SCI people in Soweto are therefore subject to two sources of disadvantage and exclusion. This paper describes a survey of 88 SCI Sowetans. Their lives are marked by poverty and social isolation. Their experiences bring into sharp focus some of the concrete and hidden results of apartheid as a violent and disabling system.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
