I recently spoke to the Lambda Award-winning writer from her home in Seattle, Washington. The concept - developed by Sins Invalid, a “performance project that celebrates artists with disabilities, centering artists of color and queer and gender variant” individuals - links sexism, racism, colonialism, heterosexism, and transphobia with ableism, values every person as whole, opposes economic exploitation, and recognizes human interdependence and the need for collective solutions to collective problems. The 19 pieces in the book, many of them previously published, are a showcase for Peipzna-Samarasinha’s unabashed support for disability justice. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha’s latest book, Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, (Arsenal Pulp, October 2018) is both a call to activism and a call for community, a brash and bold reiteration of the biblical injunction to be our sister’s and brother’s keepers. Billed Into Silence: Money and the Miseducation of Women.
