Disability Visibility book

One in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible, others less apparent — but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just in time for the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent, galvanizing collection of contemporary essays by disabled people.

“This isn’t meant to be the definitive book on disability. It is a doorway, and Alice is inviting us all to go through the doorway and continue our learning process.” — W. Kamau Bell, host, “United Shades of America,” CNN
