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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0520424697\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780520424692\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Taylor, Sunaura\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Aug 2025)","offer_id":46079912083653,"sku":"9780520424692","price":21.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780520424692.jpg?v=1776033033","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/disabled-ecologies-lessons-from-a-wounded-desert","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
