Reviews
Eli Clare writes with the spirit of a poet and the toughness of a construction worker. The passion and skill of [his] writing will draw you inside a complex life and more deeply inside yourself. -- Jewelle Gomez, author of The Gilda Stories Exile and Pride is a call to awareness, an exhortation for each of us to examine our connection to and alienation from our environment, our sexuality, and each other. -- Kenny Fries, author of Body, Remember: A Memoir The books that move us most are the ones that help us make sense of our experience, that take pieces of what we already know and put it together with new insights, new analysis, enabling us to form a fresh vision of ourselves and our lives. For me, Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider and Adrienne Rich's On Lies, Secrets and Silence were such books, and there were significant others along the way. And now there's Eli Clare's Exile and Pride. -- Suzanne Pharr, author of Homophobia: A Weapon of Sexism Eli Clare's Exile and Pride ... challenge[s] us to think beyond identity politics. This set of nine interconnected essays defies categorization in its exploration not only of queerness and disability but also of class, race, urban-rural divides, gender identity, sexual abuse, environmental destruction, and the meaning of home... Clare gives us a vision of a broad-based and intersectional politics that can move us beyond the current divisions of single-issue movements. -- Rachel Rosenbloom The Women's Review of Books
