In The Terrible We Cameron Awkward-Rich thinks with the bad
feelings and mad habits of thought that persist in both transphobic
discourse and trans cultural production. Observing that trans
studies was founded on a split from and disavowal of madness,
illness, and disability, Awkward-Rich argues for and models a trans
criticism that works against this disavowal. By tracing the
coproduction of the categories of disabled and transgender in the
United States at the turn of the twentieth century and analyzing
transmasculine literature and theory by Eli Clare, Elliott DeLine,
Dylan Scholinski, and others, Awkward-Rich suggests that thinking
with maladjustment might provide new perspectives on the impasses
arising from the conflicted relationships among trans, feminist,
and queer. In so doing, he demonstrates that rather than only
impeding or confining trans life, thought, and creativity, forms of
maladjustment have also been and will continue to be central to
their development. Duke University Press Scholars of Color First
