Crip Kinship: The Disability Justice & Art Activism of Sins Invalid by Shayda Kafai

julleah's review

I thought this book would contain more art and poetry but it’s more about the process of creating disability art and poetry as a form of kinship.

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

While at times a heavy read, CRIP KINSHIP by Shayda Kafai never felt inaccessible or overy dense -- particularly for those (like me) not terribly familiar with Disability Justice, or the intersection of activim and arts. As an educator, I am more familiary with the Disability Rights movement. I appreciate how CRIP KINSHIP is grounded in examples from the Sins Invalid project in San Diego, as well as the extensive bibliography which is a good starting point for those interested in learning more about Disability Justice, feminism, abelism and the intersections with racism, classism and more.
