Unlearning Ableism

The Ultimate, No-Nonsense Guide to Understanding Disability and Unlearning Ableism

Beschreibung

"Ableism is everywhere, and we cannot continue just burying our heads in the sand. To not stand up to ableism is to contribute to the exclusion and discrimination of Disabled People." Think you know what ableism is? Think again. Welcome to Unlearning Ableism, the book rips the lid off outdated myths, exposes the hard-hitting stats, and prepares you to be the Disability inclusive ally we know you are! Written by people who get it, this book is a call to action from Disabled advocates and changemakers from around the world. You'll learn about language, identity, advocacy, intersectionality and how to stop disabling people at work and at home. Whether you're Disabled and ready to self-advocate or an ally who wants to do more than just talk about inclusion, this is your starting point. Let's shake things up, challenge the status quo, and unlearn ableism together with accountability and action. Ready? Let's do this.
