Description
Crip Negativity by J. Logan Smilges challenges our understanding of disability and its impact on society. In this critical analysis, Smilges argues that the lives of disabled people have not improved as much as expected since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. Smilges proposes a new approach to liberation, one that goes beyond access and inclusion, and instead focuses on the power of "bad crip feelings" to foster care and compassion. Drawing on models from queer studies, Black studies, and crip theory, Smilges invites us to rethink our relationship with disability and consider the potential for collective change. This is a thought-provoking work that explores the complexities of ableism and its effects on marginalized communities.
