Well researched and a needed examination of disability in US history. At under 200 pages, this is not a book that gets into detailed content about individuals or events, but serves as an introduction and overview of a topic rarely addressed in history classes and books.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Ableism, Bullying, Chronic illness, and Forced institutionalization
Minor: Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Racism, and Classism
