The Disability Rag

COMPLETE ARCHIVES

1980-1996

Complete text version
on fully-searchable CD-ROM

In 1980, The Disability Rag started a revolution -- connecting isolated activists nationwide in what would become a growing, passionate community. By 1985, The Rag had become, according to a front-page story in The Wall Street Journal, "one of the most important publications to come out of the disability rights movement."

All the articles from this newsprint magazine are now collected on a fully-searchable CD-ROM -- thousands of articles, letters, news stories, fiction and poetry... it's all here. The Rag "made the disability movement move," says Lucy Qwin, editor of Mouth.

Perfect for disability studies programs, for organizations, for schools and universities, for public libraries -- or your home library.

Praise for other Ragged Edge titles...
Anesthesia . . .

Tough-minded and sparely written, the poems take their source from a clear and calm intelligence that projects an aura of affirmation in the face of suffering and loss.
    • Colette Inez




Desert Walking . . .

These spare, precise poems chart the complexities of human intimacy with both delicacy and brashness. Their mix of candor and tenderness is memorable and moving.
    • Chase Twichell, author of The Snow Watcher




Getting Life . . .

Getting Life has joined Jean Stewart's THE BODY'S MEMORY and Anne Finger's THE BONE TRUTH as the best novels I have read about the daily experience of disability. It should be in every CIL and anyone interested in the state of disability consciousness in the new millennium should find a copy.
    • Steven E. Brown, Institute on Disability Culture




It is fiction, but it likely describes the lives of many persons with disabilities. The reader Emily is very funny, imaginative and downright spunky.
    • Reba Pierce, Kentucky Monthly





Make Them
Go Away . . .

Johnson deconstructs arguments against disability rights from the likes of Clint Eastwood as well as more ordinary folk, and she constructs powerful reasons why we all benefit from inclusion."
    • Booklist






The Ragged Edge anthology . . .

"The Disability Rag is the voice of a mighty revolution, and this stunning collection from its first 15 years will become an invaluable primer for anyone who wants to understand the new thinking of the disability rights movement. Here are the urgent, spirited and provocative stories that have changed the way people -- disabled and nondisabled -- have come to view what it means to have a disability."
    • Joseph. P. Shapiro, author of No Pity: People with Disabilities Forging a New Civil Rights Movement
