Disability

[close] Hosted through the Multicultural Resource Center at Missouri State University. This is a book club for students associated with MSU to connect over diverse, intersectional literature that highlights different experiences, and to start bigger discussions about the world.

[close] MISSION: read a minimum of 3 books by BIPOC authors per month, for the entirety of 2024 (to make a minimum of 36 BIPOC books), in order to help form the habit of reading and supporting BIPOC books All books need to be written by BIPOC authors. Books with BIPOC main characters written by white authors do NOT fit the brief. The descriptions of prompts were too long to fit the titles here, so make sure you check the list of the prompts on the carrd. Check the official carrd https://thediversebaseline.carrd.co/ for all the rules, info and prompts.

[close] For anyone that reads YA and Middle Grade and wants recommendations or to share them for own voices and diverse author-written books. Own voices are books where the author has the same marginalisation as the main character(s). We accept all marginalisations: race, disability (including mental illness, chronic illness, neurodivergent, etc), fat, LGBTQIA2+ (Including nonbinary and Indigenous genders, asexual and aromantic spec, multigender attraction, etc), sex workers, etc.

Our book for Dec-Feb is 'Mind the Science' by Jonathan Stea. #pedanticzebra for updates on social media Why Zebras? Because of this common medical aphorism, which has led to the dismissal of many zebras: “When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra.” This book club is hosted by Long Covid Advocacy: https://www.longcovidadvoc.com/ Indie Bookshops: DISABILITY JUSTICE BOOKSHOP - NIGHTLIGHT https://bookshop.org/shop/nightlight_books
