Black disability politics now Summary "In Black Disability Politics Sami Schalk explores how issues of disability, broadly construed, have been and continue to be incorporated into Black activism, from the 1970s to the present. In so doing, she establishes a new lineage for disability politics, one that allows the work of contemporary Black disability justice activists to be central. Aiming to speak to both academic and activist audiences, Black Disability Politics identifies common qualities of Black disability politics and provides praxis-based approaches for enacting these politics in contemporary social justice work. Using the archives of the Black Panther Party and the National Black Women's Health Project alongside interviews with contemporary Black disabled cultural workers, Schalk argues that the work of Black disability politics not only exist, but are essential to the future of Black liberation movements"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 15, 2022) Subject African Americans with disabilities -- Political activity African Americans -- Political activity Disabilities -- Political aspects -- United States People with disabilities -- Political activity -- United States Disability studies -- United States Sociology of disability -- Political aspects SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / American / African American & Black Studies.
