In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

Dans cette introduction à son livre Feminist, Queer, Crip , Alison Kafer imagine un avenir différent pour le handicap et les personnes handicapées. Remettant en question la manière dont les idées sur l'avenir et le temps ont été déployées au service d'une capacité physique et mentale obligatoire, Alison Kafer rejette l'idée du handicap comme une limite prédéterminée. Elle juxtapose des théories, des mouvements et des identités tels que la justice environnementale, la justice reproductive, la théorie cyborg, la politique queer et le handicap, qui sont généralement discutés de manière isolée, et envisage de nouvelles possibilités d'avenirs crip et d'alliances féministes/queer/crip.

"The contributors to Crip Genealogies reorient the field of disability studies by centering the work of transnational feminism, queer of color critique, and trans scholarship and activism. They challenge the white, Western, and Northern rights-based genealogy of disability studies, showing how a single coherent narrative of the field is a mode of exclusion that relies on logics of whiteness and imperialism. The contributors examine how disability justice activists work in concert with other social justice projects, explore crip environments, create alternate disciplinary genealogies, and reject notions of the model minority. Throughout, they demonstrate how the mandate for a single genealogy of the discipline whitewashes disability and continues forms of violence. By cripping disability studies, the contributors allow for divergent histories, the coexistence of anti-ableist and antiracist theorizing, and a radically just and capacious understanding of disability.
