Description
Disability Visibility (2020) is a compilation of original essays by people with disabilities. There are too few stories about what it’s like to be a disabled person navigating environments designed for the nondisabled. This collection brings visibility to some of these diverse experiences, and shows how limiting our ideas about disability really are.
Who Should Listen
- Disabled people looking for stories that represent diverse experiences of living with disabilities
- Nondisabled people interested in confronting their prejudices about what it means to be disabled
- Activists wanting to strengthen their movements by making them more intersectional
