Capitalism and Disability: Selected Writings by Marta Russell
Marta Russell (Author) Keith Rosenthal (Editor)
“Discovering Marta Russell’s work was a watershed moment for my family, changing not just how we saw ourselves as able-bodied or disabled individuals but how we understood the modern world. It led us to a new understanding of disability as a political issue, a social condition embedded in economic structures of exploitation and oppression, not simply a product of personal embodiment. To have any hope of building an accessible future, more people are going to need to read Russell and this collection is the place to begin.” –Astra Taylor
