Author Description

<b>Based on the historic <i>New York Times</i> series, <i>About Us</i> features intimate, firsthand accounts on what it means, and how it feels, to live with a disability. </b><br><br>Boldly claiming a space where people with disabilities tell the stories of their own lives—not other’s stories about them—<i>About Us</i> captures the voices of a community that has for too long been stereotyped and misrepresented. Speaking not only to people with disabilities and their support networks, but to all of us, the authors in <i>About Us</i> offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them. Echoing the refrain of the disability rights movement, “nothing about us without us,” this collection, with a foreword by Andrew Solomon, is a landmark publication of the disability movement for readers of all backgrounds, communities, and abilities.
