Double Discrimination: People of Colour with Learning Disabilities Defying Ableism and Racism
Autor Saba Salmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mai 2026
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, chapters showcase 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.

Recenzii
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.
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.
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.
A superb book written from the cutting-edge of social justice. Anyone interested in human difference and diversity should read it.
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.
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.
