Recs if you like Crippled: Austerity and the Demonization of Disabled People...

A collection of books by a range of disabled authors exploring what it means to navigate a world that isn’t built with accessibility in mind. Personal stories with sharp insight, these works challenge what we think we know about disability, chronic illness, mental health, neurodiversity, the myth of recovery, and what it means to belong.

List is a work in progress!

A collection of books that trace the history of disability, revealing how societies have understood, treated, and often marginalized disabled people over time. From shifting medical ideas to social movements for rights and inclusion, these works show how the past continues to shape the way disability is experienced today.

Much of the reseach and published work on disability history has traditionally centered on white, western persepctives which can overlook the experiences of disabled people of other cultures and regions. I'm open to suggestions and discovering more inclusive books to broaden the view and knowledge of our histories.
