| Summary: | Based on the New York Times series, About Us captures the voices of a community that has been stereotyped and misrepresented. Speaking The authors in About Us offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them.... the stories here reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as "disabled" by the broader public." Since its 2016 debut, the New York Times "Disability" column has transformed the national dialogue around disability. This collection of essays from the column captures the voices of a community that has been stereotyped and misrepresented. The authors offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them, and in doing so reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as "disabled" by the broader public. |
