People who have been damaged, thrown away, marginalized, or traumatized are more capable of apprehending social patterns, precisely because they&;ve needed to be aware and vigilant about how the world works. For too long, those who rely on long-held rights and entitlement have claimed that others are biased about the very topics on which they have expertise. Damaged Like Me is a series of essays and stories that reveal a complex social landscape. It shows how possible and vital it is to build roads to a more equitable and loving collective culture that includes body sovereignty, racial justice, gender equity/liberation, and much more. It does so by relying on the insights and approaches to knowledge production of those on the receiving end of inequity and violence, those whose &;objectivity&; on issues of oppression has been consistently maligned despite their having the most to teach us.
