This interesting combination of history, biography, travelogue, and ethics is chock full of useful and mind-expanding information about blindness, disability, and accessibility - unfortunately it’s also meandering, overdone, and long, and needed some sharper editing.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
