About the Book

Si en México más del 16% de la población, cerca de 21 millones o 1 de cada 6 mexicanos cuentan con algún tipo de condición discapacitante, ¿por qué parece que son muchos menos los casos que conocemos? Porque las personas con discapacidad (pcd) en nuestro país son una fuerza invisible.

Si no es cada cuatro años que se celebran los paralímpicos, si no se acerca el Día Internacional de las pcd, cuando las marcas realizan acciones; si no es que el gobierno da beneficios fiscales para impulsar la inserción laboral de este grupo, el resto del tiempo las personas con discapacidad viven entre las sombras.

Este libro busca arrojar un poco de luz a apenas veinticuatro de esos millones que no vemos. Con discapacidades de nacimiento o adquiridas y de diversos tipos, y origen de varias partes del país, medallistas olímpicos, empresarios, filántropos, ejecutivos, políticos, servidores públicos, artistas, activistas, conferencistas, académicos, abogados, un médico y hasta un standupero cuentan por primera vez sus historias con resiliencia, valentía y un propósito: ser referentes para otras pcd y motivar a la población general a ser agentes de cambio, a contribuir en multiplicar esa luz y velar por la inclusión en todos los aspectos de la vida.

Un libro desgarrado, inspirador y sui géneris en el que la periodista y activista Bárbara Anderson presta su pluma para dar voz a quienes no cuentan, al tiempo que el reconocido fotógrafo Enrique Covarrubias ilumina sus rostros por primera vez con una mirada entre iguales.

Invisibles es una lectura que cambia radicalmente la manera en la que vemos la discapacidad, mueve conciencias e invita a la acción.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

If more than 16% of Mexico's population, around 21 million or 1 in 6 Mexicans, have some type of disabling condition, why does it seem that there are fewer cases of people with disabilities than the actual percentage? The answer is that people with disabilities (PwD) are somewhat invisible.

The fact is that most of the time, people with disabilities live in the shadows. We only tend to notice them every four years when the Paralympics are held; or when the International Day of PwD is near and brands carry out actions regarding PwD; or when the government gives tax benefits to promote the insertion of this group of people in the workplace.

This book seeks to shed a light on the twenty-one million people that we don't see as much as we should. For the first time, people with various types of disabilities--either from birth or acquired--belonging to different parts of the country, such as Olympic medalists, businessmen, philanthropists, executives, politicians, public servants, artists, activists, lecturers, academics, lawyers, doctors, and even a standup artist, tell their stories of resilience, courage, and purpose. Now, they are references for other people with disabilities while motivating the general population to be agents of change, to help shed light and ensure inclusion in all aspects of life.

A heartbreaking, inspiring, and original book in which journalist and activist Bárbara Anderson uses her writing to give a voice to those who aren't always counted, and where renowned photographer Enrique Covarrubias illuminates their faces for the first time as equals.

(In)visible is a reading that radically changes the way we see disability, moves our conscience, and invites us to act.
