Contemporary Black Disability Political Praxis
Schalk uses the phrase Contemporary Black Disability Political Praxis to describe the work and political outlook offered by Black disabled cultural workers engaging in Black Disability Politics. Schalk identified some key tactics of Contemporary Black Disability Political Praxis as:
- Not just claiming Black disability identity and encouraging disability identification within Black communities but also going back and claiming Black disability history and highlighting and connecting organizing work to a history and legacy of Black disabled community organizing.
- An understanding of intersectionality that places racism not being a more preeminent system of oppression than ableism, but instead understanding racism and ableism and intertwined and mutually constructing.
- Engaging with and situating themselves as a part of the tradition of Black feminist politics, including pulling earlier Black feminist tactics like centering those who are most impacted by oppression.
