i came to this book, wanting to learn more about the history of the disability justice movement, and i got exactly what i asked for. mattlin discusses the history behind certain policies and organizations, changes and transitions in the disability justice movement, and notable figures in the movement such as mia mingus, eli clare, leah piepzna-samarasinha, etc. it's a good starting place if you want to know more about the history and to find specific figures to look into, but the book doesn't delve as much into theory and praxis. definitely a good book to start on if you don't know anything about crip activism, disability pride, etc!
