'Who's missing from the stories we read, from the communities where we live, from the places where we work or go out?'Whilst white privilege, unconscious bias and institutional discrimination have become high profile issues, learning disabled people of colour continue to be excluded from the conversation. Responding to this crucial need to investigate the inequalities faced by learning disabled people of colour, Double Discrimination shines a bright light on the consequences of ignoring the combined impact of racism and ableism. From author, editor and award-winning social affairs journalist, Saba Salman, this book introduces the historical context of attitudes towards learning disability and race whilst also featuring people's experiences of multiple marginalisation from childhood to adulthood. Building on these perspectives, Double Discrimination showcases organisations and individuals leading the fight against racism and ableism, providing readers with opportunities to tackle limiting systems and support the growing momentum for change. With human experiences at its core, this book reveals the importance of including learning disabled people of colour within the empowerment agenda, forming a powerful call for collective action and voice of support.
