First published in 1999, the groundbreaking Exile and Pride is
essential to the history and future of disability politics. Eli
Clare's revelatory writing about his experiences as a white
disabled genderqueer activist/writer established him as one of the
leading writers on the intersections of queerness and disability
and permanently changed the landscape of disability politics and
queer liberation. With a poet's devotion to truth and an activist's
demand for justice, Clare deftly unspools the multiple histories
from which our ever-evolving sense of self unfolds. His essays
weave together memoir, history, and political thinking to explore
meanings and experiences of home: home as place, community, bodies,
identity, and activism. Here readers will find an intersectional
framework for understanding how we actually live with the daily
hydraulics of oppression, power, and resistance. At the root of
Clare's exploration of environmental destruction and capitalism,
sexuality and institutional violence, gender and the body politic,
is a call for social justice movements that are truly accessible to
everyone. With heart and hammer, Exile and Pride pries open a
window onto a world where our whole selves, in all their
complexity, can be realized, loved, and embraced.
