  • To Build for the Future

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: "Nothing about us without us." This call—first made by disability-rights activists in South Africa and since taken up by disabled people around the world—not only signals the central demand of disabled political movements for access, equity, and justice, it is also a connected reminder to those who tell the stories. Rejecting the well-worn narratives of pity, scorn, othering, and medicalization that exist primarily for the benefit of the nondisabled, disabled people insist on better and richer stories about disability as a way of being and a way of knowing.This issue is rooted in a commitment to this call. Our writers tell stories of the disabled South to place disabled people in the center of their own narratives ... Read More

  • Intimacies of Sound and Skin at Carville

      Abstract: Strum. chuckle. cha-lang-a-lang. croon. twang. clatter. Exuberant sounds from a party seem to float from snapshots taken around 1972 or 1973. In a large living room, people chat, and one man snaps a photograph. Henry Nalaielua, a Native Hawaiian man sitting in a wheelchair, strums an 'ukulele. In another corner, a woman drapes a lei (garland) over another woman's neck. Older men and women laugh while opening wrapped gifts (figures 1 and 2). Who were these people—white, Asian, and Native Hawaiian—and what had brought them together'1This ordinary scene of strangers and friends unfolded in an intimate setting rarely seen by outsiders: an apartment at the national leprosarium at Carville, Louisiana. Also known as US ... Read More

  • "You Know Who I Am' I'm Mr. John Paul's Boy"

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: A middle-aged white man in three-quarter-length view proudly fills the frame of the black-and-white photograph (fig. 1). He stands on a cracked cement landing beneath a leafless oak tree. Behind him, peeling plaster reveals a crumbling, low-slung brick wall, over which a tangle of brambles gives way to a field bounded on the left by an old rail fence and on the right by dense woods. The man appears as worn as the landscape he inhabits: his hair is disheveled, his chin shaded with stubble, and he leans ever so slightly on a walking stick. His dark wrinkled work shirt is open at the collar, revealing a worn undershirt, and the uppermost buttons of his light-colored trousers, which are held up by suspenders, are ... Read More

  • Drawing All Over Again: Remembering Patrick Dean

      Abstract: The Vision, 2021. Artwork by Patrick Dean. Find more on Instagram, @patrick_dean_comics.When artist patrick dean died in May of 2021, he left behind an impossibly large collection of work: sketchbooks, paintings, loose pieces of paper, cardboard, newsprint, a couple of sculptures, and several other things he'd drawn or painted on, usually whatever was closest to him when an idea hit—and those ideas hit frequently. I was one of the lucky ones. I got to watch it happen on multiple occasions. The transition from blank page to fully formed work was amazingly fast. Other cartoonists would often look on in disbelief at the speed that these expressive, fully realized, and (most important) funny pieces seemed to jump out ... Read More

  • "The blues look like me"

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Leroy f. moore jr. has long stood at the intersection of disability arts, advocacy, and activism over a wide-ranging and influential career. He cofounded (with Keith Jones) the Krip-Hop Nation, a worldwide collective of artists and activists working to amplify the work of disabled creators that has become a crucial voice in expanding the presence of disability within the culture. Krip-Hop Nation is deeply informed by Moore's long career of activism in the worlds of disability justice (a movement and philosophy that Moore helped create) and racial justice. Krip-Hop, like Moore himself, is particularly insistent on confronting issues like police violence, sexual harassment, and employment discrimination that are ... Read More

  • Curiously Cured by Sterilization: Charles Carrington and the Sterilization
           of African American Men in Virginia, 1902–1910

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The decades between 1880 and the opening years of the Great Depression brought about a period of profound change for all Americans. But improvements in the availability of social services, the increasing benevolence of the state, and multilayered forms of protection afforded many white Americans were lost on their African American counterparts. As African Americans moved into the second decade since emancipation, they faced the reality of hunger and poverty, the ever-present fear of violence, and a growing belief in the permanence of their second-class citizenship. Considering these truths, historian Rayford Logan argued that the period commonly referred to as the Progressive Era, in fact, constituted "the nadir of ... Read More

  • Wade Taylor: A Family Haunting

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: 5' 10". dark hair. Gentle and easygoing. At the time of his death, in the '60s, they said he had schizophrenia, but the diagnosis today likely would be a developmental disability, probably autism. Wade didn't grow up apparently neurotypical. There was no shift in his teens or twenties. Family lore remembers him disabled from the start. Buried on a grassy hillside above a creek near the Wilkes–Watauga county line. The sole surviving picture of him, found tucked away in other family papers, shows a short, round-faced boy among the several siblings common to rural families before birth control, when poor farm couples' labor strategy was procreation. He never spoke much. At least later in life, he tended to curl and ... Read More

  • Back Porch

      Abstract: "I am perfectly able to care for myself," my ninety-seven-year-old mother, Huddy, says to me with a deep sigh. I hear the frustration and anger in her voice. This daily encounter occurs when I cross her threshold of intervention, having suggested a nice walk one too many times, or reminded her to eat or drink something more substantial. My endless suggestions, constant reminding, tidying, and scheduling feel like a thousand cuts to her ability and agency. "Stop snooping in my refrigerator," she says. "Why don't you go home to your dog and husband'" Before I leave, I note a visit from an occupational therapist who will assess the safety and accessibility of her apartment. "I don't like people poking around my home," ... Read More
