thedisabledreader's review against another edition

4.5

It was great but definitely could have gone more in depth with more analysis and such. Also a solid two chapters were extremely boring

achingallover's review against another edition

dark hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.5

really appreciated the foreward and preface and afterword, as well as the additional notes Eli Clare added in 2009, so would recommend the 2015 edition

definitely a book i will reread, and have annotated heavily. really important analysis of intersections, of complicated and layered questions, poking at the uncomfortable bits to discover why 

"at the jagged edge where self-hatred meets pride"
"in the end i mean deeply honest multi issue politics that will make home possible"
"when do we celebrate, when do we howl with rage, when do we witness and mourn?"
