Sipping Dom Pérignon Through a Straw by Eddie Ndopu

5.0

Review:

 Eddie went to Oxford to critically examine the limitations of reasonable accommodation as a public policy tool for the rights of people with disabilities, and his time there was a crash course in exactly that. As Eddie summarizes, “Just as a whale cannot be comfortably accommodated in a swimming pool, disabled individuals cannot be reasonably accommodated without systemic interventions to address ableism.” This book is a must for anyone who cares even a smidge about disability justice! 

It's serious and doesn't shy away from really upsetting stuff, but it's also a book of disabled joy, Black joy, and queer joy!

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5: Blows me away, loved it, life-changing, will sit with me
