'Who's missing from the stories we read, from the communities where we live, from the places where we work or go out?'

Whilst white privilege, unconscious bias and institutional discrimination have become high profile issues, learning disabled people of colour continue to be excluded from the conversation.

Responding to this crucial need to investigate the inequalities faced by learning disabled people of colour, Double Discrimination shines a bright light on the consequences of ignoring the combined impact of racism and ableism.

From author, editor and award-winning social affairs journalist, Saba Salman, this book introduces the historical context of attitudes towards learning disability and race whilst also featuring people's experiences of multiple marginalisation from childhood to adulthood.

Building on these perspectives, Double Discrimination showcases organisations and individuals leading the fight against racism and ableism, providing readers with opportunities to tackle limiting systems and support the growing momentum for change.

With human experiences at its core, this book reveals the importance of including learning disabled people of colour within the empowerment agenda, forming a powerful call for collective action and voice of support.

Saba Salman is a British Asian author, editor and award-winning social affairs journalist writing on diversity, learning disability and autism. Her youngest sister, Raana, has the learning disability fragile X syndrome and influences her work. Saba's first book Made Possible was published in 2020. Her journalism appears in Private Eye, The Guardian, The Independent and Byline Times, including reports on the inequalities faced by disabled people of colour. Saba won a National Press Award in 2020 in the reporting diversity category, and she was shortlisted in the British Journalism Awards, Asian Women of Achievement Awards, the European Diversity Awards. Saba edits the learning disability magazine Community Living. She chairs the charity Sibs, the national charity for disabled people's siblings.
