Disability can happen to any of us, and likely will at some point in our lives, so the fact that disabled people are shoved to the margins of society should concern everyone. Every life is just as valuable as the next, no matter their abilities, and access to every part of life should be a right. incredible essay collection!! if you're thinking about picking it up let this be your sign. i understand everyone's going to have their own opinions but i think it's missing the point any time someone critiques the quality of writing or says it 'really shows that all of them aren't authors'; it's not supposed to be perfect prose, it's real people getting to share the reality of their lives. i'd highly recommend looking further into the work of each author (info about each located in the back 'about the contributors' section), as well as checking out the extensive further reading list compiled at the end. 3.5 stars A collection of 39 essays of various lengths, formats, intended audience, and tone, I didn’t love every essay—or think every one was written for my consumption (as a nondisabled person)—but this is a book I’m glad I read. Besides the essays I thought were really good, the further reading section at the end of the book gave me lots of ideas for what I can read to learn more about disabled people’s lives.

"The much-anticipated follow up to the groundbreaking anthology Disability Visibility: another revolutionary collection of first-person writing on the joys and challenges of the modern disability experience, and intimacy in all its myriad forms. What is intimacy? More than sex, more than romantic love, the pieces in this stunning and illuminating new anthology offer broader and more inclusive definitions of what it can mean to be intimate with another person. Explorations of caregiving, community, access, and friendship offer us alternative ways of thinking about the connections we form with others-a vital reimagining in an era when forced physical distance is at times a necessary norm. But don't worry: there's still sex to consider-and the numerous ways sexual liberation intersects with disability justice. Plunge between these pages and you'll also find disabled sexual discovery, disabled love stories, and disabled joy. These twenty-five stunning original pieces-plus other modern classics on the subject, all carefully curated by acclaimed activist Alice Wong-include essays, photo essays, poetry, drama, and erotica: a full spectrum of the dreams, fantasies, and deeply personal realities of a wide range of beautiful bodies and minds. Disability Intimacy will free your thinking, invigorate your spirit, and delight your desires"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
