Description

In The Anti-Ableist Manifesto, founder of Diversability and creator of the viral TikTok Anti-Ableism series Tiffany Yu takes readers on a revelatory examination of disability. Yu celebrates the power of stories and lived experiences to foster the proximity, intimacy and humanity of disability identities that have too often been 'othered' and rendered invisible. She demonstrates how to identify everyday microaggressions and ableist language, encourage conversation and promote inclusive environments and wellbeing. With a foreword by Dr Shani Dhanda, as well as contributions from disability advocates, activists, entrepreneurs and more, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is an essential book for going beyond mere awareness and becoming an active anti-ableist, working to create an equitable society for all.
