Publisher's Summary
This groundbreaking memoir offers a glimpse into an activist's journey to finding and cultivating community and the continued fight for disability justice, from the founder and director of the Disability Visibility Project
In Chinese culture, the tiger is deeply revered for its confidence, passion, ambition, and ferocity. That same fighting spirit resides in Alice Wong.
Drawing on a collection of original essays, previously published work, conversations, graphics, photos, commissioned art by disabled and Asian American artists, and more, Alice uses her unique talent to share an impressionistic scrapbook of her life as an Asian American disabled activist, community organizer, media maker, and dreamer. From her love of food and pop culture to her unwavering commitment to dismantling systemic ableism, Alice shares her thoughts on creativity, access, power, care, the pandemic, mortality, and the future. As a self-described disabled oracle, Alice traces her origins, tells her story, and creates a space for disabled people to be in conversation with one another and the world. Filled with incisive wit, joy, and rage, Wong’s Year of the Tiger will galvanize listeners with big cat energy.
* This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing photographs, illustrations and a crossword puzzle from the printed book.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A brilliant and powerful book
Alice Wong shared her life story in her book ‘year of the Tiger’. She talks about struggles so often hidden and/or ignored by abled-bodied people that are a daily occurrence for the disabled community. Her work, both in this book as well as for Disability Visibility, is educational and doesn’t shy away from claiming the space she deserves in this world. Year of the Tiger is essential reading for any disability ally and everyone who wants to become one.
