Eli Clare

Brilliant Imperfection

Grappling with Cure

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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