Catherine Frazee wants her readers to know that there is far more
to disability than most people think or assume. There is much not
to like about disability, such as the ways it diminishes status and
opportunity, and the ways it requires medical intrusions which,
even if lifesaving, are nobody’s idea of a good time. As becomes
apparent in this powerful collection of writing, there is much more
to the story of disabled life. There is adaptation and activism.
There is art, philosophy, and history. There is solidarity,
identity, collective struggle, and shared culture. Frazee offers a
glimpse into a rich and delicate ecology of disability that
warrants not fear and pity, but recognition and respect.
