Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century by Alice Wong

This book includes stories from so many people: disabled folks living at intersections of other marginalized identities, different disabilities and levels of mobility, and from a wide range of backgrounds. I especially enjoyed the essay on asexuality and disability! Each of these perspectives taught me something new and I learned so much from these stories.

Out of the three in this series, this may have been my favorite! I really enjoyed the plot lines and thought the characters were well developed. It was a tad long for me, I was really losing focus at the end - but still had a lot of fun reading this!

Will definitely be re-reading and purchasing this. I learned so much. Beautifully written. The way Coates tells stories and shares his experiences to show how racism and injustices are across the world is so amazing.

Very educational about living as an undocumented citizen in America. I learned so much from this. The rawness of the stories is amazing. Author describes this as “creative nonfiction “ and I love that.
