The Spouter-Inn

41. Exile and Pride.


Listen Later

Gender reaches into disability; disability wraps around class; class strains

against abuse; abuse snarls into sexuality; sexuality folds on top of race …
everything finally piling into a single human body. To write about any
aspect of identity, any aspect of the body, means writing about this entire
maze. This I know, and yet the question remains: where to start?

We start off the year (a bit late) by reading a book that pushes us in some

new directions. Eli Clare’s Exile and Pride is half memoir, half analysis
of the intersections of queerness, disability, gender, race, and the
environment. Chris and Suzanne explore its many devotions: to lists, to
intersectionality, and especially to the desire to never let things be simple,
but always striving to consider the world in its full complexity.
