Recommendation: Exile and Pride by Eli Clare
Sunshine Wolfe recommends…
Exile and Pride by Eli Clare
A book.
A book.
Eli Clare is one of my favorite genderqueer, queer, disability, and class activists. Zi is also a great racial justice ally. This book is poetic, personal, and powerful. One of my favorite sections includes the lines- “The body as home, but only if it is understood that bodies can be stolen….The body as home, but only if stolen bodies can be reclaimed.”
I highly encourage reading Eli Clare’s work and checking out hir’s website.
