Book Description

'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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Double Discrimination is a necessary book that illuminates the layered realities of overlapping identities and the systemic biases shaping the lives of people of colour with learning disabilities. Saba Salman's work is a call to action for equity, inclusion, and a deeper understanding of intersectionality, going beyond labels to centre the lived experiences of those most marginalised. -- Marcia Brissett-Bailey, Editor of Black, Brilliant and Dyslexic; dyslexia advocate, educator, speaker, and thought leader in neurodiversity and intersectionality

This beautifully written, comprehensive and quietly provocative book fills an important gap too many have not noticed. It is a book of stories, or counterstories even, of the lives of Raana, Saba's younger sister and other people of colour with learning disabilities, underpinned by social justice, love, resistance and opportunities. A banger of a much-needed book. -- Professor Sara Ryan, Manchester Metropolitan University

Saba Salman brilliantly exposes a rarely acknowledged but enduring scandal which is hidden from public view. This book is both fascinating and deeply shocking, taking the reader through changing attitudes to learning disability and documenting a literally fatal double discrimination. -- Sir Norman Lamb, former Health Minister, NHS trust chair, mental health campaigner and author of Be More Human

A superb book written from the cutting-edge of social justice. Anyone interested in human difference and diversity should read it. -- John Harris, Guardian journalist, critic and author of Maybe I’m Amazed

Saba Salman is one of the most interesting and insightful writers and journalists in Britain today. She tackles issues that others don't think about, never mind examine and explore. Her new book is hugely important, making us think about the nature of discrimination in its many forms. Equally importantly, it implicitly challenges us all to think about what type of society we want to live in, and what we need to do to achieve it. -- Mark Malcomson CBE, Principal and Chief Executive of City Lit

For too long the consequences of the intersection of 'race' and disability have been obscured from view. This book gives an insight into the many ways in which discrimination and ignorance lead to a lack of targeted, supportive services for individuals, families and communities. -- Baroness Young of Hornsey OBE, member of the House of Lords, cultural advocate, and campaigner for social justice
