This bibliography only begins to document the information available around issues of multiculturalism and the many organizations involved in these issues. It is by no means inclusive of the vast amount of information available, especially as we begin to think of how issues related to ethnicity, race, class, gender, religion and the other important factors in peoples' lives that interconnect with disability. The bibliography begins with a number of annotated bibligraphies already available mainly around disability as it relates to culture and ethnicity. Including these annotations seemed more beneficial than merely duplicating such annotations here.
Many of the selections in each section could also easily fit into another section of the document which shows the interconnectedness of the issues. Finally, of great importance is the need to link the issues more broadly to the more generic organizations and efforts going on in our communities today. I have found that there are a good number of resources available that can work to strengthen efforts in the field of disabilites. Hopefully this will be a place to begin.
