Im marking this ad read for now since it has been in my reading for probably a year. I didn't realize it was a textbook size book when I got it. This isn't bad, it just made it very difficult to read cover to cover. I mostly did though. It has a wide variety of essays touching on more than disability alone. The essays on abortion and disability were probably what taught me the most and were very interesting. But, there are a lot of good ones in here. It could use a bit more disabled poc perspectives though.

So helpful in getting different "slices" of various disability theory and in seeing different takes on specific topics.

One of the most helpful Disability Studies books I've read so far. I mean, this has a piece by my favourite scholar—Rosemarie Garland Thomson, in so it was already good in my eyes.

Particularly enjoyed the essays on the intersection between disability studies and feminist theory.

A super comprehensive guide to disability. There was a decent amount of variety in terms of approach, but the collection seemed to be skewed heavily towards audio and visual impairment, so it would have been nice to have more discussion in some other areas. That being said, anyone interested in social models of disability would have a great introduction to the topic with this reader.
