The Anti-Ableist Manifesto: Smashing Stereotypes, Forging Change, and Building a Disability-Inclusive World by Tiffany Yu
4.0
3.75/5 gifted by the publisher
an introductory read for non-disabled readers, TAAM offers a practical framework for those unfamiliar with disability literature to dismantle their abelism. I particularly appreciate the checklist at the end of each chapter, where Yu outlines helpful and not harmful steps for those who want to be better allies. Some sections that I find incredibly educational include how to speak up as an alley where call-ins could work more effectively than call-outs, analysis of stories surrounding disabled people and a checklist to consider if these tales are exploitative, and how to ask better questions as non-disabled folks to help change our mindsets
