Required reading for humans
This eye-opening compilation should be required reading for all humans.Alice Wong has brought together an incredible group of people with disabilities to tell their stories. She began this project because she wanted to hear more about the disabled experience from diverse, everyday folks.So many times in our culture when we think of disability we think of Christopher Reeves in his wheelchair or Dustin Hoffman acting in Rainman. Much of what we see in our culture’s examples of disability are completely lacking in diversity. Not only that, but the examples are almost always visible, which is simply not always the case. Many are invisible and our society often invalidates them because of this.Some of my favorite chapters include:-Harriet McBryde Johnson who has a neuromuscular disease debates with a Princeton professor who believes she shouldn’t have been born.-Jeremy Woody speaks to the challenges of being deaf in prison.-Sky Cubacub describes how limited (and honestly ugly) current adaptive clothing is and how they are changing this.-Keah Brown expresses the happiness and love in her life, even though society tells us that joy is impossible for disabled people.-Shoshana Kessock, who has bipolar disorder finally gives herself permission to be healthier and take her medicine instead of feeling like she owes the world her manic creativity.-Britney Wilson describes the perilous journey of NYC’s paratransit service.This book shows such richness and joy and challenges and life in each person’s story. They are not gloom and doom like we are lead to believe is nonstop for them. It’s important for us to examine the biases we may hold against those that are differently abled.This powerful book does exactly what the title says. It makes everyday disabled experiences more visible to the world. I cannot recommend this book enough. Please give this a read.
