Drawing on her own complex relationship to this long-ago injured landscape, Sunaura Taylor takes us with her to follow the site's disabled ecology—the networks of disability, both human and wild, that are created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What Taylor finds is a story of entanglements that reach far beyond the Sonoran Desert. These stories tell of debilitating and sometimes life-ending injuries, but they also map out alternative modes of connection, solidarity, and resistance—an environmentalism of the injured. An original and deeply personal reflection on what disability means in an era of increasing multispecies disablement, \u003ci\u003eDisabled Ecologies \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful call to reflect on the kinds of care, treatment, and assistance this age of disability requires.","brand":"Sunaura Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42964006830198,"sku":"9780520393066","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_90c116eb-d1f8-4ee3-bcbf-231de8b7d811.jpg?v=1767876352","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/disabled-ecologies-9780520393066","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
