Abstract
The article examines how Maria Reimann’s autoethnographic book Nie przywitam sie z panstwem na ulicy: szkic o doświadczeniu niepelnosprawności (I Won’t Greet You in the Street: A Sketch about the Experience of Disability, 2019) addresses and problematizes such essential concepts for contemporary disability studies as: disability identity, coming out as disabled and, most importantly, disability community. It focuses on the way in which the book seeks to reconcile the seemingly contradictory and conflicting ideas about disability. It also argues that by deconstructing the disabled/non-disabled dichotomy, Reimann reinvents the idea of disability community, imagining it as a galaxy of individuals who can only find a sense of connection by recognizing the uniqueness and distinctiveness of another’s bodily and social experiences.
