Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century by Alice Wong

informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

Disability Visibility is not only a great read, but it's also something I can see myself returning to again and again to keep drawing more knowledge/insight from certain essays. I read it over the course of a couple weeks, an essay or two at a time, and I'd recommend either doing that or just reading random essays as they strike your interest. It's a lot of valuable content in a small-ish book! These essays particularly stood out to me on this first read-through: "The Isolation of Being Deaf in Prison" by Jeremy Woody, "Guide Dogs Don't Lead Blind People. We Wander as One" by Haben Girma, "Six Ways of Looking at Crip Time" by Ellen Samuels, "On NYC's Paratransit, Fighting for Safety, Respect, and Human Dignity" by Britney Wilson, and "On the Ancestral Plane: Crip Hand-Me-Downs and the Legacy of Our Movements" by Stacey Milbern.
