challenging reflective fast-paced

5.0

i'm so impressed by this book. Eli Clare was discussing intersectionality from a trans/enby disabled perspective so ahead of his time. I'm still kind of out of words, but i definitely want to add this book to my physical shelf and recommend it a lot.

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?"

isabelmabel49's review against another edition

challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

Eli Clare is a master of discussing topics we generally like to separate for palatability and interweaving them to demonstrate how very little CAN be separated in this society. They discuss difficult experiences, aspects of activism that make them frustrated, and continually reminds us all to check our social position (specifically what privileges we are awarded based on that position). They open one's eyes to elements of being disabled, being queer, being working-class, and more that would likely go unconsidered by those outside of each demographic, ultimately providing a more purposefully curious and aware worldview. Plus, they have got some banging lines in here that will make you have to stare out the window and contemplate your existence.
