Brilliant Imperfection
Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling with Cure | Eli Clare
Drawing on memoir, history, and theory, Eli Clare complicates the understanding of cure, seeing it as an ideology that serves contradictory purposes from saving lives to social control while critiquing cure rhetoric and the drive to cure disabled people through an insistence of the value of disability."

My #currentread is a deep dive into our concept of "cure". What kinds of existing are defined as needing to be cured? Which communities are hoping for cure, and which communities want acceptance and affirmation rather than cure? Thank goodness we have Eli Clare's beautiful brain to examine it all. #queerbooks #transbooks #disabilitybooks

Able-bodied people, forget everything you think you believe about health and cure and disability politics, and listen to Eli Clare. He covers politics, history, ethics, ableism, gender identity, and more; with all the messy, contradictory intersections that cannot be ignored. His prose is dazzling, the way he states his points so beautiful, that this feels like a mix of nonfiction and poetry. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I've fallen off the #photoadaynov2016 but I couldn't resist jumping back in for #disabilities because I'm currently reading the amazing Brilliant Imperfections by Eli Clare who takes a fascinating and important critical stance on the way that disability is most commonly framed. #transbooks #queerbooks #disabilitybooks

Centique I love that quote 👍 8y

I'm so excited to start this one! Thanks to #netgalley! I have really enjoyed Clare's previous work - he is such a powerhouse on queer issues, trans issues, and disability issues. #transbooks #queerbooks #disabilitybooks
