Disability and disabled individuals are often described with pity, presented as burdens, or are background figures in larger non-disabled narratives. \u003ci\u003eRedefining Disability\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the outsider-dominated approach to disability by centering the disabled experience.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This edited volume, featuring all disabled authors and creators, combines traditional academic works with personal reflections, visual art, and poetry. These works address disability and race, sexuality and disability, disability cultures, accommodation, self-diagnosis, and how we manage the obstacles ableist institutions place in our way. The authors address a variety of disabilities, including sensory, chronic pain, mobility, developmental disorders, and mental illness. It is through these testimonies that we hope to redefine disability on our terms; to clearly state that disability is not a bad word, and that all disabled lives have value.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRedefining Disability\u003c\/i\u003e is interdisciplinary, with broad application for undergraduate courses, graduate seminars, or to read for pleasure.
