Drawing on her own complex relationship to this long-ago injured landscape, Sunaura Taylor takes us with her to follow the site's disabled ecology--the networks of disability, both human and wild, that are created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What Taylor finds is a story of entanglements that reach far beyond the Sonoran Desert. These stories tell of debilitating and sometimes life-ending injuries, but they also map out alternative modes of connection, solidarity, and resistance--an environmentalism of the injured. An original and deeply personal reflection on what disability means in an era of increasing multispecies disablement, \u003ci\u003eDisabled Ecologies \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful call to reflect on the kinds of care, treatment, and assistance this age of disability requires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunaura Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520393066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520393066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Sunaura Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44583844315391,"sku":"9780520393066","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e63dc242-c734-4b20-857b-5b9e30733d2e.jpg?v=1701883852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disabled-ecologies-sunaura-taylor-9780520393066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
