A bold collection of essays on disability and deafness in 21st century Britain.
For Deaf and Disabled writers, the context is immutable. Deaf and Disabled people are currently being scapegoated, silenced and dehumanised in the media and by politicians. Our human and legal rights are being violated. Disabled people are being forced to fight for our survival.

Deaf and Disabled people are currently being scapegoated, silenced and dehumanised in the media and by politicians. Our human and legal rights are being violated. Disabled people are being forced to fight for our survival. Beyond is a collection of work by Welsh Deaf and Disabled writers writing back.
We are resisting the forced silencing to build community and solidarity. This bilingual anthology builds community by presenting our voices together, celebrating our joy, our experiences, our defiance at a time when it is radical to do so. There is currently nothing like this anthology in Wales. The Deaf and Disabled community is sporadically spread across Wales. Beyond draws our voices together from throughout Wales to say this is our community and our voices belong together. Together, we write beyond the boundaries of our inaccessible and ableist society. Together, we write. -- Publisher: Lucent Dreaming
