Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
emotional
hopeful
reflective
fast-paced
3.75
Opened my eyes to how I view myself and the people around me. Validated so many things for me.
Definitely made me realize how often disability gets overlooked in public spaces.
Gave me hope that a care-centered community is possible.
Although a lot of the material talked about is sad (check TW), overall I felt the tone of the book was extremely hopeful, and I found the intimate look at care-centered communities beautiful and spiritual.
