Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair

This event is taking place as part of the Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair, three days of workshops and tabling with music performances at night.

Professor Sunaura Taylor will be presenting her book Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert, a powerful analysis and call to action that reveals disability as one of the defining features of environmental devastation and resistance.

Deep below the ground in Tucson, Arizona, lies an aquifer forever altered by the detritus of a postwar Superfund site. Disabled Ecologies tells the story of this contamination and its ripple effects through the largely Mexican American community living above. 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.
