Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

challenging emotional funny hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This is the best book I’ve read this year. The writing is deeply compassionate thoughtful and challenging. I am grateful to have the opportunity to question and expand many of my long held understandings of the world and of myself. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha shared her experiences, vulnerability, strengths, and desires with a warm generous relatability. I wish everyone would read this. Highly recommended.
