IF YOU WANT TO BE INCLUSIVE, YOU'LL FIND A WAY. IF YOU DON'T, YOU'LL FIND AN EXCUSE

Raúl Krauthausen is Germany’s best-known activist for inclusion and barrier-free access – and the loudest voice in the country in matters of rights of people with disabilities. “Just consider disability a feature, like the colour of your hair” is one of his basic tenets. He fights across all platforms, digital and analogue, for visibility and against discrimination. His new book raises fundamental, often uncomfortable, questions on inclusion in Germany and prompts his readers to engage with their own ableism, developing an idea of how inclusion could and should be lived on all levels.

"Raúl has a picture of what should be and what better not be. He judges on the basis of his expertise. He does not allow himself to be made stupid, and he likes to look at the world in terms of its changeability. The stringency with which he pursues his path is remarkable, partly because it is fuelled less by ambition than by passion." Roger Willemsen
