First published in 1999, Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation by Eli Clare is a groundbreaking book in the political realm of disability politics, and essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the intersections of queerness, disability, environmentalism, class, race, and more.
Monica and Page sat down with Alison Kopit, a queer and disabled artist and doctoral candidate in Disability Studies at UIC, to talk about Exile and Pride. She is also the co-creator of The Not Sorry Project and on the editorial board of Monstering, a literary magazine for disabled women and non-binary folks.
