F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Thank You! my current work with Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and from Syria really confrim the need to stop labelling. Dwindling resources and scarce opportunities make life extremely difficult for them. the continuing cycle of violence and lack of interest in their problems make the future look very bleak. the resilience of the people is amazing... they need to be integrated and supported
