Brilliant Imperfection

Grappling with Cure

Beschreibung

Drawing on memoir, history, and theory, Eli Clare complicates the understanding of cure, seeing it as an ideology that serves contradictory purposes-from saving lives to social control-while critiquing cure rhetoric and the drive to cure disabled people through an insistence of the value of disability.
