Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to Be an Ally by Emily Ladau
informative
fast-paced
3.5
A great introduction to disability history and addressing ableism! A fantastic, quick primer on a topic that has very much been pushed off to the side or is considered “too uncomfortable” to talk about.
It Is very much a “beginners guide” so to say and I would not necessarily recommend it to someone who has lived experience with a disability or has been involved in disability advocacy for a while.
From an accessibility standpoint (as this is a book about disability), its physical copy has a nice comfortable weight and page thickness to it for easy holding and page turning. From a processing standpoint, more difficult terms are explained clearly and easily. However, it uses a sans-serif font, which can be difficult for some people with dyslexia or vision disabilities to process.
