520    "A groundbreaking collection of first-person writing on 
       the joys and challenges of the modern disability 
       experience: Disability Visibility brings together the 
       voices of activists, authors, lawyers, politicians, 
       artists, and everyday people whose daily lives are, in the
       words of playwright Neil Marcus, "an art . . . an 
       ingenious way to live." According to the last census, one 
       in five people in the United States lives with a 
       disability. Some are visible, some are hidden--but all are
       underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just 
       in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans 
       with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together
       an urgent, galvanizing collection of personal essays by 
       contemporary disabled writers. There is Harriet McBryde 
       Johnson's "Unspeakable Conversations," which describes her
       famous debate with Princeton philosopher Peter Singer over
       her own personhood. There is columnist s. e. smith's 
       celebratory review of a work of theater by disabled 
       performers. There are original pieces by up-and-coming 
       authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma. There are blog 
       posts, manifestos, eulogies, and testimonies to Congress. 
       Taken together, this anthology gives a glimpse of the vast
       richness and complexity of the disabled experience, 
       highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of 
       this community. It invites readers to question their own 
       assumptions and understandings. It celebrates and 
       documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the 
       future and past with hope and love"--|cProvided by
