Presently, disability justice and emotional/care work are buzzwords on many people's lips, and the disabled and sick are discovering new ways to build power within themselves and each other; at the same time, those powers remain at risk in this fragile political climate in which we find ourselves. Powerful and passionate, Care Work is a crucial and necessary call to arms. Disability Visibility by Alice Wong (Editor) Call Number: EBOOK ISBN: 9781984899439 Publication Date: 2020-06-30 A groundbreaking collection of first-person writing on the joys and challenges of the modern disability experience: Disability Visibility brings together the voices of activists, authors, lawyers, politicians, artists, and everyday people whose daily lives are, in the words of playwright Neil Marcus, "an art . . . an ingenious way to live." According to the last census, one in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some are visible, some are hidden--but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together an urgent, galvanizing collection of personal essays by contemporary disabled writers. There is Harriet McBryde Johnson's "Unspeakable Conversations," which describes her famous debate with Princeton philosopher Peter Singer over her own personhood. There is columnist s. e. smith's celebratory review of a work of theater by disabled performers. There are original pieces by up-and-coming authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma. There are blog posts, manifestos, eulogies, and testimonies to Congress. Taken together, this anthology gives a glimpse of the vast richness and complexity of the disabled experience, highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of this community. It invites readers to question their own assumptions and understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and past with hope and love.

Un pájaro bajo la cama : historias médicas en Nueva York by Mendoza, Nuria Call Number: WZ 80.5.H8 M539 2023 ISBN: 9788412710007 Publication Date: 2023 Los relatos contenidos en 'Un pájaro bajo la cama' están inspirados en el trabajo de Nuria Mendoza como intérprete en hospitales de la ciudad de Nueva York. Se han cambiado nombres y lugar de procedencia, pero todas las historias tienen un núcleo real. Luego la escritura las ha convertido en otra cosa. En ficción, quizás. No tienen un principio, una trama y un final, sino que se mimetizan con la labor de la intérprete: «Es como llegar a la sala de cine con la película ya empezada. Te quedas allí un rato, conoces al personaje principal, te haces una idea del argumento y luego sales rodeada de oscuridad, a tientas, sin saber cómo acaba. On Being Included by Sara Ahmed Call Number: LC212.4 A398 2012 ISBN: 9780822352211 Publication Date: 2012-03-28 Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall." On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them. Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry by Donald W. Black; Nancy C.
