520 |a According to the last census, one in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some are visible, some are hidden-- but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Wong brings together an urgent, galvanizing collection of personal essays by contemporary disabled writers. Inside you will find activists, authors, lawyers, politicians, artists, and everyday people whose daily lives include the vast richness and complexity of the disabled experience. They invite readers to question their own assumptions and understandings, while documenting disability culture in the now.-- adapted from original edition
