Between Myself And Them

Stories Of Life With Disability

by Carol Krause

tagged: physical impairments, people with disabilities
Description

Adults in their 20s share their real experiences living with disability, resulting in a rich and diverse set of stories that challenge the homogeneous interpretation of a very diverse group of people who, when we group them together as "the disabled", lose their individuality.
