Real-life stories of disability, discrimination, and the fight for equality. From the Periphery presents raw, painful, yet surprisingly funny and deeply inspiring first-person narratives of over thirty everyday people treated differently due to their disabilities. These oral histories reveal anger, independence, bigotry, solidarity, and love within family, school, and the workplace. Inspired by Studs Terkel and Svetlana Alexievich, this collection increases understanding of the lived experiences of people with disabilities. Discover how individuals navigate societal barriers, find strength in community, and challenge ableism. This is a must-read for anyone seeking to foster empathy and promote social justice.
