SUMMARY:Sunaura Taylor at Books Inc. Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Join UC Berkeley professor and award-winning author Sunaura Ta
 ylor at Books Inc. Berkeley for a discussion and signing of her book D
 isables Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert.\n\nSunaura will be joine
 d in conversation by KPFA host Mitch Jeserich.\n\nA powerful analysis and 
 call to action that reveals disability as one of the defining features of
  environmental devastation and resistance.\n\nDeep below the ground in Tuc
 son\, Arizona\, lies an aquifer forever altered by the detritus of a postw
 ar Superfund site. Disabled Ecologies tells the story of this contaminat
 ion and its ripple effects through the largely Mexican American community 
 living above. Drawing on her own complex relationship to this long-ago inj
 ured landscape\, Sunaura Taylor takes us with her to follow the site's dis
 abled ecology—the networks of disability\, both human and wild\, that ar
 e created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered.\n\nWhat Ta
 ylor finds is a story of entanglements that reach far beyond the Sonoran D
 esert. These stories tell of debilitating and sometimes life-ending injuri
 es\, but they also map out alternative modes of connection\, solidarity\, 
 and resistance—an environmentalism of the injured. An original and deepl
 y personal reflection on what disability means in an era of increasing mul
 tispecies disablement\, Disabled Ecologies is a powerful call to reflect
  on the kinds of care\, treatment\, and assistance this age of disability 
 requires.
