Ben Waber reviewed Crip Spacetime by Margaret Price
A Fabulous One-Two Punch
5 stars
If it's possible for a critical studies/sociology book to be action-packed, this one certainly is, with Price delivering non-stop incisive analysis of the systemic nature of accessibility, the importance but limitations of access, and how disabled individuals navigate flawed workplaces. Importantly, this analysis is informed by deep interview and survey research that is incorporated throughout the book, which adds even further insight into these issues. While the focus here is nominally on working within academia, the issues explored here are very broadly applicable to other organizations. I wish this book were longer so Price could add a bit of quantitative data to this must read volume, but that's a minor quibble. Highly recommend
