520    "From the Periphery consists of more than 30 first-person 
       narratives of everyday people who describe what it's like 
       to be treated differently by society because of their 
       disabilities. The stories are raw and painful, but also 
       surprisingly funny and deeply inspiring. The oral 
       histories describe anger, independence, bigotry, 
       solidarity and love--in the family, at school and at the 
       workplace. Inspired by the oral historians Studs Terkel 
       and Svetlana Alexievich, From the Periphery will become a 
       classic oral history collection that will increase the 
       understanding of the lived experiences of people with 
       disabilities, their responses to oppression and their 
       coping strategies. Readers will meet Andre, who felt 
       different as a child because she was blind. Her father 
       insisted that she could ride a bike, but neighborhood kids
       would still ask, "Can I catch what you have?" Marca Bristo
       acquired her disability after a diving accident and became
       invisible as a person. Men would only see her wheelchair 
       and she started doubting her sexuality. Curtis Harris was 
       treated like a piece of meat in school. He has come to 
       accept autism as part of his personality: "You are who you
       are.... You reject normalism."--|cProvided by Freading.
