Crip Genealogies

A new book co-edited by Mel Y. Chen, faculty affiliate of the Asian American Research Center, challenges the traditionally white, Western, and Northern rights-based approach to disability studies. The book reorients the field to center transnational feminism, queer of color critique, and trans scholarship and activism. "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."
