Why we need a revolution and how we get there

books written by disabled authors

"self-help" books that situate themselves within both subjective experience and structural analysis - approaching healing and liberation as mutually informing individual and collective work.

despite collective abandonment and effective propaganda, the pandemic is ongoing. COVID continues to kill and maim people as it spreads unmitigated worldwide. these are books crucial to the study of the public health realities we’re up against as eugenics and fascism escalate - from disability justice to science communication to social movement histories.

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!

These books try to get to the root of what pain is and where it comes from and how humans have tried to treat it. From chronic illness, disability to medication. Nonfiction regarding health, women's health, mental health, painkillers, opium, the body and autoimmune diseases. This list is NOT about finding healing (since that is a very individual journey) but how to be seen and understood and how to find the words to describe pain and sickness.

Centering own voices, but inclusive of disability theory

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.

I'm making a list of authors, the problematic information is very public and easy to find. This list is to inform anyone that doesn't know. The authors are horrible people and I never separated the art from the artist!
