Description

Care Work Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha is a powerful exploration of disability justice and its intersection with care work. This collection of essays delves into the complexities of creating accessible spaces, the importance of emotional intelligence in crip communities, and the need for fair trade economic systems. Piepzna-Samarasinha shares personal anecdotes and insights from her own experiences as a queer, disabled, femme-of-color activist, offering a unique perspective on issues such as chronic illness, creativity, and survivorhood. The book also features conversations with other disability justice leaders, exploring topics like crip futures and the importance of radical accessibility in performance spaces. Through her writing, Piepzna-Samarasinha challenges traditional narratives around abuse survivorhood and instead offers a vision of anti-ableist survivorhood that prioritizes self-care and community support. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in disability justice, care work, and social activism.
