Summary
First published in 1999, the groundbreaking Exile and Pride is essential to the history and future of disability politics. Eli Clare's revelatory writing about his experiences as a white disabled genderqueer activist/writer established him as one of the leading writers on the intersections of queerness and disability and permanently changed the landscape of disability politics and queer liberation.
With a poet's devotion to truth and an activist's demand for justice, Clare deftly unspools the multiple histories from which our ever-evolving sense of self unfolds. His essays weave together memoir, history, and political thinking to explore meanings and experiences of home: home as place, community, bodies, identity, and activism. Here listeners will find an intersectional framework for understanding how we actually live with the daily hydraulics of oppression, power, and resistance. At the root of Clare's exploration of environmental destruction and capitalism, sexuality and institutional violence, gender and the body politic, is a call for social justice movements that are truly accessible to everyone.
With heart and hammer, Exile and Pride pries open a window onto a world where our whole selves, in all their complexity, can be realized, loved, and embraced.

Profound, moving, exploration of intersectionality
A brilliantly moving book, weaving autobiography with discussion of the broader context, disability rights, environmental and class struggles, and queer history. I had to listen to it half a chapter at a time, to let the words and ideas be fully absorbed and reflected on. Thank you Eli for this beautiful work.

Brilliant work Eli!
Thank you for bringing together the body of earth and the queer, crip body. It is a compelling much needed book, still very contemporary.

Extremely annoying narration
It is impossible to get objective about the text, as the narration constantly had the tone of a gothic poet about to burst into tears.
