tailieunhanh - Wheelchair Warrior GANGS, DISABILITY, AND BASKETBALL

Wheelchair Warrior tells the true story of Melvin Juette, an African American gang member from Chicago who was shot and paralyzed and later became a world-class wheelchair athlete. It is not primarily a story about urban black America, although it is also about that; rather, it is a story that focuses on Juette’s resiliency in the face of his disability and how his involvement in wheelchair basketball helped him move forward with his life. Employing the life-story interview method, sociologist Ronald Berger assisted Juette in constructing a narrative that describes his quest, the personal and social hurdles he had to overcome, and the support he received from signifi cant others.
