Beautiful People (inbunden, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
In the summer of 2019, journalist Melissa Blake penned an op-ed for CNN Opinion. A conservative pundit caught wind of it, mentioning Blake’s work in a YouTube video.
What happened next is equal parts a searing view into society, how we collectively view and treat disabled people, and the making of an advocate.
After a troll said that Blake should be banned from posting pictures of herself, she took to Twitter and defiantly posted three smiling selfies, all taken during a lovely vacation in the Big Apple:
Her tweet went viral, attracting worldwide media attention and interviews.
Now, in her manifesto, Beautiful People, Blake shares her truths about disability, writing about (among other things):
- the language we use to describe disabled people
- ableism, microaggressions, and their pernicious effects
- what it's like to live in a society that not only isn't designed for you, but actively operates to render you invisible
- her struggles with self image and self acceptance
- the absence of disabled people in popular culture
- why disabled people aren't tragic heroes
"No matter what kind of body we move through the world in, Melissa’s warmth is a welcome invitation to join her in recognizing the beauty we each possess.” ―Jessica Slice and Caroline Cupp, authors of Dateable: Swiping Right, Hooking Up, and Settling Down While Chronically Ill and Disabled
“In prose that is clear, warm, and always laced with humor, Melissa draws you in, making you a part of her world.
With her trademark wit, pop culture references, and ability to tackle challenging topics with seeming effortlessness, Beautiful People is a book with heart and is an absolute delight to read.”―Erin Khar, author of Strung Out
