Disability is Other People (häftad, eng)

Disability is Other People: My Superhero Story is not a story about overcoming disability but living well with it. Drawing on experience and humour, Richard shares everything he has learned through his triumphs and mistakes, deconstructs traditional perspectives on disability and draws out the links to other oppressed communities struggling for Equality.

He shows how the attitudes and behaviours of Other People are disabling forces. He considers some of the big issues he has faced along the way: Hope, Death, Ableism, The Media, and Political Correctness.

It is not until Richard retires that he realises that volunteering and getting to know Other People is actually the core value in life.

He shows us how to recognise these two different groups of other people, offers solutions and his own advice on how to live with disability. Does he have Superpowers after all? It is a remarkable story of self-discovery, luck, resilience, and love. This is a powerfully positive memoir which enlightens us that Disability is a fundamental issue for humanity.
