'Racialized Bodies, Disabling Worlds is a must-read for anyone who cares about inequalities of power and their consequences in the lives of individuals. I recommend it very highly for advanced students in the fields of women's studies, disability studies, and rehabilitation. I was impressed by Parin Dossa's scholarship, which offers an informative, sophisticated analysis of the interaction of disability, racialization, and gender in Canada while absorbing the reader in the moving stories of women who experience these things.'

'Hidden away in their families or in the reports of public service agencies, differently abled Muslim women have been rendered virtually invisible within the burgeoning field addressing women and Islam. Racialized Bodies, Disabling Worlds provides a space for Muslim women who self-identify with disability to reveal the intricate relationship between experienced-based knowledge, voice, and authority and to break the false homogeneity imposed on Muslims in the post-migration situation.'

'The marginalization of people whose bodies do not meet the criteria of normalcy occurs within the contexts of race and gender. Parin Dossa's unique and invaluable book uses the personal narratives of racialized women with disabilities to shed light on the triple form of oppression such women face. In Racialized Bodies, Disabling Worlds the meaningful lives of these women attest to the dignity and strength of the human spirit.'
