\nIn August and September we will discuss Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-F irst Century edited by Alice Wong.
\nOne in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible\, oth ers less apparent--but all are underrepresented in media and popular cultu re. Now\, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act\, activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent\, galv anizing collection of contemporary essays by disabled people. From origina l pieces by up-and-coming authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma\, to blo g posts\, manifestos\, eulogies\, Congressional testimonies\, and beyond: this anthology gives a glimpse into the rich complexity of the disabled ex perience\, highlighting the passions\, talents\, and everyday lives of thi s community. It invites listeners to question their own understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the f uture and the past with hope and love.
