Sinossi

Disability Identity Shift explores the transformation of disability from a medical diagnosis to a potent source of identity and political power. It examines how societal and political forces have reshaped perceptions, language, and self-understanding within the disability community. The book highlights the cultural construction of disability, moving away from purely medical models, which is crucial for dismantling societal barriers. It also examines the politics surrounding disability rights, revealing ongoing struggles for accessibility and inclusion. The book argues that disability identity has evolved into a source of pride, community, and political influence. This evolution is a collective movement challenging ableism and demanding social justice.

 
Beginning with the historical roots of disability identity, the book progresses through cultural factors shaping perceptions, political mobilization efforts, and concludes with a discussion of future trends and challenges. The book uses historical analysis, legal documents, media content analysis, and personal narratives to support its arguments. It offers a unique perspective by focusing on the intersection of culture, politics, and identity, making it valuable for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding disability rights and identity.

How to Have Antiracist...

PhD Roxy Manning, Kit Miller

Utilizing Dr. Martin Luther King's Beloved Community framework, activists will be empowered to create change and equity through fierce yet compassionate dialogue against racism and systematic white supremacy.

Can a person be both fierce and compassionate at once? Directly challenge racist speech or actions without seeking to humiliate the other person? Interrupt hateful or habitual forms of discrimination in new ways that foster deeper change? Dr. Roxy Manning believes it's possible-and you can learn how.

In this book, Dr. Manning provides a new way to conceive of antiracist conversations, along with the practical tools and frameworks that make them possible. Her work is grounded in the idea of Beloved Community, as articulated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a goal to aspire to and even experience now, in the present, when we refuse to give up on the possibility of human connection within ourselves, with potential allies, and with those whose words and actions create harm. This book fuels courage and provides tools to confront everyday forms of racism. It walks the reader through an effective, efficient model of dialogue that utilizes concepts of nonviolent communication and helps normalize talking about racism instead of treating it like a "third rail," strictly avoided or touched at one's peril.

Readers will
- Be empowered to identify what kind of antiracist conversation they want to have-for example, do they only want to be heard, or do they want to negotiate a change in policy?
- Learn how to engage in antiracist conversations whether they are the Actor (person who says or does something racist), the Receiver (the target of racism), or the Bystander.
- Learn how to notice the underlying needs and values that motivate all human actions and how those values can open up pathways to transformation.

Examples of antiracist conversations highlight different ways to initiate dialogue, raise awareness, speak one's truth, and make clear, doable requests or demands for change.

Drawing on her experience as a clinical psychologist, a nonviolent communication practitioner, and an Afro-Caribbean immigrant, Dr. Manning provides a model of antiracist dialogue with practical applications for individuals and organizations.

Doctor-to-be Lucy Walker. 
Moody. 
Conversation-killer. 
Jerkette. 
And the hottest woman in the universe. 
Chelsea is beside herself and plots to get rid of her. While Lucy tries to avoid any type of interaction, even if it means crawling out the window. Things spiral quickly, and it doesn’t take long until they get caught up in a series of tit-for-tat pranks and bad behavior trying to drive each other crazy. 
Yet as time goes on, something begins to change. Chelsea slowly pulls back the layers of her roommate and discovers there may be more to her than she thought. Lucy seems to ‘hate’ her with less conviction, and the two women almost begin to enjoy hanging out. 
Life soon forces these sworn enemies to work out the true extent of their feelings before one of them walks away.
