Resistance and Hope, Wong concedes, does not represent the breadth of activism among disabled people. Instead, it zooms in on what she calls “the experience and wisdom” of a small group of progressives and provides a showcase for folks who are often overlooked by social justice movements. As for making the collection available only as an e-book, Wong says that the decision was purely pragmatic: Keeping the cost low and providing easy access.
