latisha's review against another edition
I’m not going to rate this book. It was so invaluable, I learned so much. But it also was written in a very academic way that was honestly pretty alienating. It’s ironic because the book does specifically mention disability studies books being written in an inaccessible but it’s like the author couldn’t reflect on different ways that could manifest.

The beginning of this book is dense, wordy, and challenging and would benefit from concrete examples. It was almost a DNF. But once you get through the first 30 pages and into Chapter 1, text provides strong examples of intersecting systems of oppression, the
history of black disability movement,
erasure of disability from black liberation movement and the exclusion of Black people from mainstream disability movement. This book creates great context for understanding liberation while also lifting up abelist accountability as well as a call for action.

A great contribution to the space of black and disability liberation.
I was almost turned off by the introduction which I found very academic and dry. In truth I found the writing style repetitive and difficult to connect with throughout, but glad I stuck it out and I encourage anyone facing a similar roadblock to as well.

I think overall it was really really good. some of the text was very dense ans it might have been better to have more examples to help illustrate its points but i think it managed to put a lot across.
