Disability Ways: Anthology about d/Deaf and disabled writers

Edited by Diane Driedger and L(ani) Zastre

This is a graphic of the anthology titled, “Disability Ways: An anthology about disability gain by d/Deaf and disabled writers”, edited by Diane Driedger and L(ani) Zastre. On the left side of the graphic is an image of the book cover. The book cover contains the title of the anthology and a photo of an artwork by Diane Driedger called “The Joker’s Tea Party”. The artwork is of a table with a teapot and teacups. Around the table are chairs with photos of various artists sitting on each chair. On the right of the graphic are the details for the book orders with a quote from Debbie Patterson and Nancy Hansen.

In Disability Ways, d/Deaf and disabled people write about how their disability benefits them and how our communities, cultures and society are enriched through a disability perspective. Society has tended to view disability as a tragedy, as something to be fixed, as a negative force and burden. This anthology turns this view on its head. It includes the contributions of 33 people, from across Canada, and California. Read, and tally the disability gains.
