Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice
Description
In this collection of essays, Lambda Literary Award–winning writer and
longtime activist and performance artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

centers the lives and leadership of sick and disabled queer, trans, Black, and
brown people, with knowledge and gifts for all. Care Work is a mapping of
access as radical love, a celebration of the work that sick and disabled
