About this listen

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 predetermined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

I had not heard of this book and I am so grateful to have come across it. I am not (yet) disabled, but I know my struggles for liberation are deeply intertwined with all who are oppressed, including disabled people. Kafer's book not only provides crucial context and analysis to disability justice and crop theory in the US, but is beautifully instructional in her critical analysis of various positionalities and perspectives, including her own. Kafer manages to explore complicated intersections of identities and politics with both admirable scholarship and an open humility that creates both an invitation and a provocation. If you are someone who is looking to expand your understanding of disability politics and, perhaps most importantly, how the struggle for liberation can and must include us all, in all our diverse body-minds, this is a book you should not miss. I have already added to the list of my feminist reading group and my group was thrilled for the addition.

Important, instructive work

Clearly written and argued, this book was much more accessible than I expected. It presents a broad range of issues related to disability and does a good job of presenting the intersections and possible coalitions with other marginalized groups. I would have liked slightly more sociological analysis, but Kafer’s focus leans slightly more towards the literary and cultural studies side of things, which is also the trend within American disability studies. Very glad to have accessed this book and thanks to Audible for making it a free listen
