A review by libraryoflanelle
Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation by Eli Clare, Suzanne Pharr
4.0
I read this one exclusively via Audio and would like to re-read it in tandem with the physical book so I can absorb it more fully. I will definitely be writing an updated review when I get my hands on a physical copy.
I really enjoyed hearing Eli reflect on these topics as things were in 1999. Seeing the parallels, the differences and on many occasions the heart-breaking lack of positive change truly added a level of discussion to these topics that I did not anticipate.
I have added content/trigger warnings to my review but I want to point out that Eli does mention CSA he experienced in childhood on multiple occasions, at times in moderate detail.
