He traces the generation that came of age after the ADA reshaped America, and how it is influencing the future. He documents how autistic self-advocacy and the neurodiversity movement upended views of those whose brains work differently. He lifts the veil on a thriving disability culture--from social media to high fashion, Hollywood to Broadway--showing how the politics of beauty for those with marginalized body types and facial features is sparking widespread change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe also explores the movement's shortcomings, particularly the erasure of nonwhite and LGBTQIA+ people that helped give rise to Disability Justice. He delves into systemic ableism in health care, the right-to-die movement, institutionalization, and the scourge of subminimum-wage labor that some call legalized slavery. And he finds glimmers of hope in how disabled people never give up their fight for parity and fair play. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully written, without anger or pity, \u003ci\u003eDisability Pride\u003c\/i\u003e is a revealing account of an often misunderstood movement and identity, an inclusive reexamination of society's treatment of those it deems \u003ci\u003edifferent\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Mattlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807036455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807036457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.35w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022 pg. 153\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2022 pg. 3","brand":"Ben Mattlin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070842663167,"sku":"9780807036457","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e208904-7fb5-4de0-b1a0-617a354cdb92.jpg?v=1685432652","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-pride-ben-mattlin-9780807036457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
