  • Headshot of Amy Cuddy

    "Tiffany Yu's The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is a powerful journey, merging personal narratives with collective insights to confront and dismantle ableism. As someone deeply immersed in the study of prejudice, including the often-overlooked discrimination faced by people with disabilities, I find that Yu delivers a timely and indispensable guide."

    Amy Cuddy, New York Times Bestselling Author of Presence

  • Headshot of Andrew Leland

    “It can be difficult to know how to respond to ableism when one encounters it in the wild, but Tiffany Yu's The Anti-Ableist Manifesto offers a timely, practical, and generous field guide. It's a clear, comprehensive, and accessible instruction manual for anyone who cares about disability (and, even more crucially, for those who don't).”

    Andrew Leland, author of Pulitzer Prize-finalist The Country of the Blind

  • Headshot of John D. Kemp

    “Tiffany Yu’s The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is brilliantly written and very well researched! It provides a much-needed framework for any discussion of Ableism and methods for defeating this deeply harmful practice of supremacism. Credibility comes from Yu’s lived experience with disability and her powerful way of expressing its harm and how to stop it.”

    John D. Kemp, cofounder of the American Association of People with Disabilities, author of Disability Friendly: How to Move from Clueless to Inclusive
