The contributors to Crip Genealogies reorient the field of
disability studies by centering the work of transnational feminism,
queer of color critique, and trans scholarship and activism. They
challenge the white, Western, and Northern rights-based genealogy
of disability studies, showing how a single coherent narrative of
the field is a mode of exclusion that relies on logics of whiteness
and imperialism. The contributors examine how disability justice
activists work in concert with other social justice projects,
explore crip environments, create alternate disciplinary
genealogies, and reject notions of the model minority. Throughout,
they demonstrate how the mandate for a single genealogy of the
discipline whitewashes disability and continues forms of violence.
By cripping disability studies, the contributors allow for
divergent histories, the coexistence of anti-ableist and antiracist
theorizing, and a radically just and capacious understanding of
disability. Contributors. Suzanne Bost, Mel Y. Chen, Sony Coranez
