À propos de cet audio

One in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible, others less apparent - but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just in time for the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent, galvanizing collection of contemporary essays by disabled people.

From original pieces by up-and-coming authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma, to blog posts, manifestos, eulogies, Congressional testimonies, and beyond: This anthology gives a glimpse into the rich complexity of the disabled experience, highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of this community. It invites listeners to question their own understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and the past with hope and love.

Was a really great audio book but it is missing the first essay Unspeakable Conversations by Harriet McBryde Johnson. Fortunately It is still available at the NYT online. Hope they correct this (or at least warn people it’s missing).

Missing the First Essay

This is essential reading for everyone.
I laughed, cried, felt unsettled, and consoled. It also made me confront some of my internalized ableism in my own day-to-day life.

Excellent!

The past 1-2 years have been a very transformative process for me, learning to love and accept my autistic self. I feel that this book is a way to connect to many people whom I will never know in person, but I have much in common with. A very brief time where we are together, and then we are not. Thankfully, I can listen to this book again whenever I want to connect with the disability world once more, and I know that I will.

Highly recommended
