Feminist, Queer, Crip by Alison Kafer https://iupress.org/9780253009340/feminist-queer-crip/ From the Publisher: In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit.

This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing mothering in a global context--the i...
