Description
Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert
A powerful analysis and call to action that reveals disability as one of the defining features of environmental devastation and resistance. This book tells the story of an aquifer in Tucson, Arizona, forever altered by contamination, and its ripple effects through the community living above.
Drawing on her own complex relationship with this injured landscape, Sunaura Taylor explores the networks of disability that are created when ecosystems are corrupted. She finds a story of entanglements that reach far beyond the Sonoran Desert, mapping out alternative modes of connection, solidarity, and resistance - an environmentalism of the injured.
