Happily Seated – A Review

Want a book that talks about disability differently? One that exposes stereotypes and clichés, showing how stigma, isolation, erasure, skepticism "and the ever-present inaccessibility" are the real problem? A book that refuses our world of rampant ableism—a world that accepts nothing but perfect physical and mental form? With irony, depth, and sharp insight, disability scholar and writer Rebekah Taussig tells a story that is also deeply personal—and breaks the mold. "This is the emancipation (…) I wish for anyone: a world where we can move freely and exist in our bodies without shame; a world that isn't interested in making all human beings function in exactly the same way."
