The Alliance of Radical Booksellers named Ellen Clifford's book The War on Disabled People: Capitalism, Welfare and the Making of a Human Catastrophe winner of the 2021 Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing.
Speaking for the judges, Karen Shook said the winning title is "a hugely revelatory account of the one-quarter of U.K. society whose struggle for justice is literally a matter of life and death, and of the determined, defiant disabled activists whose resistance holds important lessons for everyone on the Left."
Calling it "an absolute honor" to win the prize, Clifford said: "The Bread and Roses Award is the only award I have ever aspired to win because it validates exactly what I aspire to do--which is to use writing to explore ideas that can make the world a better place. I am grateful that the Award and that Radical Booksellers exist."
