Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
21 reviews
jdieperink's review against another edition
5.0
It’s a book that is simultaneously not for me and everything I need. It’s not an introductory text to disability justice but maybe it should be?
Since it is a collection of essays, it is occasionally repetitive but that doesn’t take away from the collection and how loving it is.
I’ve seen a few other reviews that mention this but this book is not medical advice and I think the author does make sure to cover that, even when it’s more concrete tips.
CW: abuse, suicide, ableism, misogyny, racism and probably more. Take care of yourself.

achingallover's review against another edition
3.0
Part VI was really good and gave me a lot to think about, but other parts were repetitive, reductive, bad advice (eg regarding medication) or, just, lots of acronyms that weren't explained (the irony that it discusses making writing less academic to be accessible is not lost on me).
