challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

An incredible collection of essays that put forth a radical, transformative vision of disability justice that centers the voices and needs of disabled people, and particularly folks who are queer, trans, Black, indigenous, and POC. The essays range from the theory-based (what does healing look like when it is done by and for disabled people, and what are its goals?) to the practical (hacks for going on a book tour as a disabled person). Even if you  have a baseline familiarity with disability justice, this book is likely to make you consider ideas, perspectives, and/or forms of oppression that you haven't before.
