A review by mo_mentan
Feminist, Queer, Crip by Alison Kafer
5.0
probably more like *4 because of structural issues, but i want more people to read this
this was incredibly interesting. concepts like crip time, kafer's definition of disability as a political, social but also medical issue, her ideas about disability and nature amd the way western culture alienates the two of each other and all of these incredibly important starting points for coalition .... there were so many great things in this, that will be with me for a long time and hopefully help me to incorporate disability justice into my activism.
as i have already hinted, the structure of this book was sometimes quite difficult. maybe it wad because i listened to it instead of reading it on paper, but it was at times quite hard to follow and very philosophical in its nature, so that i found myself craving for an easy wrap up - maybe however, that is exactly one thing impossible with an approach as hollistic and intersectional as kafer's.
