"Disability." they have asserted, is pri- marily a socially constructed role. For the vast majority of people with disabil- ities, prejudice is a far greater pro a bigger obstacle for them to "overcome than any disability. The core of the problem, in the activists' view, has been historically dep-seated, socially per vasive, and powerfully institutionalized oppression of disabled people.
