A review by mrfroggy
Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation by Eli Clare

emotional reflective

5.0

Very beautifully written with incredibly pertinent and insightful ideas that are still being hashed out to this day regarding place, race, class, gender/sexuality, ability, and every intersection

I particularly love that clare touched on ideas of place and body in particular, w well researched historical recounts that place personhood on people who were complexly objectified mixed with poignant personal reflections and theory that hits more deeply than any academic paper could

Finding identity and place when exiled from body and home feels insurmountable and a society bent on keeping marginalized people out, but this books is a great burst of hope
