Cass Bird: Rewilding by Sally Singer, Cass Bird, J. Jack Halberstam

firstiteration's review

2.0

Some decent photographs prefaced by some navel-gazey introductions that talk more about what the photographs could be than what they actually are sometimes. In particular, the writing by Halberstam contains some weirdly gender essentialist statements and is just really heavy with jargon to a point that felt unnecessary. Referencing a lot of queer theorists on its own does not make a work important or good!

I don't think wildness is actually evoked here at all. It reads as city girls gone camping, rather than people actually being more embedded in wilderness/wildness.

I could just be a bit disappointed because the cover made it look interesting.
