From the Periphery consists of more than 30 first-person narratives of everyday people who describe what it's like to be treated differently by society because of their disabilities. The stories are raw and painful, but also surprisingly funny and deeply inspiring. The oral histories describe anger, independence, bigotry, solidarity and love-in the family, at school and at the workplace. Inspired by the oral historians Studs Terkel and Svetlana Alexievich, From the Periphery will become a classic oral history collection that will increase the understanding of the lived experiences of people with disabilities, their responses to oppression and their coping strategies. Readers will meet Andre, who felt different as a child because she was blind. Her father insisted that she could ride a bike, but neighborhood kids would still ask, "e;Can I catch what you have?"e; Marca Bristo acquired her disability after a diving accident and became invisible as a person. Men would only see her wheelchair and she started doubting her sexuality. Curtis Harris was treated like a piece of meat in school.

Ekskluderende design er byrumsdesign, der ekskluderer mennesker fra at bruge bestemte steder i byen. Det kan f.eks. være bænke med armlæn midt på, høj musik og skarpt lys, som forhindrer hjemløse borgere i at tage ophold. Sammen med aflåste parkeringskældre og baggårde er det en del af en udvikling, som de senere år har gjort byrummene mindre tilgængelige for mennesker i hjemløshed. Forbud mod "utryghedsskabende” lejre og tiggeri har siden 2017 medført bøder og fængselsstraf til mennesker, der sover og tigger på gaden. I kombination med kommunale soveforbudsskilte har lovændringerne ført til en de facto kriminalisering af hjemløse borgeres livsopretholdende adfærd og strategier. Udviklingen er udtryk for, at design og jura har forenet sig om at skubbe mennesker i hjemløshed ud af offentlige byrum og ud af syne. Selvom de forskellige tiltag typisk retter sig mod bestemte former for ophold og adfærd i byerne, oplever mennesker i hjemløshed den konkrete eksklusion som tilbagevendende møder med skilte, der siger: Ingen Adgang. Denne bog sætter fokus på udstødende faktorer i byrummet.
