Reviews

"With Sami Schalk's incredible book, Black Disability Politics, we begin to move into a different kind of book doing intrinsically connected work--a rigorously researched look at all the ways that disabled people's concerns have been foundational to Black resistance organizing. . . . If knowing your history is a key ingredient to success, Black Disability Politics presents a deeply researched and still incredibly readable map of the past, with implications for the shimmering future. This, along with what I can only describe as a muscular clarity in her writing, was incredible as a beginner to the topic to feel my understanding grow as I read, and that is only possible in the capable hands of a great writer like Schalk."--S. Bear Bergman "Xtra!" (9/29/2022 12:00:00 AM)
"Sami Schalk explores the histories and essential lessons of Black disabled labor, politics and movements. This is a long-overdue and essential volume."--Karla Strand "Ms." (10/3/2022 12:00:00 AM)
