Community Living editor Saba Salman worked with self-advocates, family campaigners, professionals and allies on Double Discrimination, published on 21 May. Salman’s many collaborators include activist and researcher Paul Christian, campaigner Shalim Ali and Professor Chris Hatton.
Double Discrimination argues that whilst white privilege, unconscious bias and institutional discrimination have become high profile issues, learning disabled people of colour continue to be excluded from the conversation.
The book, previewed in Community Living, is driven by personal and family experience. It reveals the depth of the inequality faced by learning disabled people of colour while also showing how to challenge injustice through the stories of those fighting limiting systems and perceptions.
Double Discrimination is available for pre-order and will be published 21 May by Jessica Kingsley Publishers
