What is this book about?
In The Anti-Ableist Manifesto, founder of Diversability and creator of the viral TikTok Anti-Ableism series Tiffany Yu takes listeners on a revelatory examination of disability. Yu celebrates the power of stories and lived experiences to foster the proximity, intimacy, and humanity of disability identities that have too often been ‘othered’ and rendered invisible, and demonstrates how to:
- Encourage conversation and identify microaggressions
- Remove ableist language from our daily vocabulary
- Create inclusive environments and promote wellbeing
- Understand what is lost when disabled employees and consumers are excluded
With contributions from disability advocates, activists, entrepreneurs and more, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is an essential book for going beyond mere awareness and becoming an active anti-ableist, working to create an equitable society for all.
