In Black Disability Politics Sami Schalk explores how issues of
disability have been and continue to be central to Black activism
from the 1970s to the present. Schalk shows how Black people have
long engaged with disability as a political issue deeply tied to
race and racism. She points out that this work has not been
recognized as part of the legacy of disability justice and
liberation because Black disability politics differ in language and
approach from the mainstream white-dominant disability rights
movement. Drawing on the archives of the Black Panther Party and
the National Black Women's Health Project alongside interviews with
contemporary Black disabled cultural workers, Schalk identifies
common qualities of Black disability politics, including the need
to ground public health initiatives in the experience and expertise
of marginalized disabled people so that they can work in
antiracist, feminist, and anti-ableist ways. Prioritizing an
understanding of disability within the context of white supremacy,
Schalk demonstrates that the work of Black disability politics not
only exists but is essential to the future of Black liberation
movements.
