I am reviewing a copy of Disability Visibility through Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group/ Vintage and Netgalley:

One in five People in the United States live with a disability of one form or another. Some are visible, but there are those that we cannot really see too.

Simply staying alive as a person with a disability in an ableist society can present a challenge. There have been improvements in the last generation, but with a population with up to 20 percent disabled more needs to be done. We live in an era when disabled people are more vibrant and visible than ever before, but that is not enough.

Disability Visibility is a collection of Essays, Blog Posts and Manifestos that Alice Wong has compiled just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

I give Disability Visibility five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
