'With this book Slater announces herself as a rising star of critical disability studies. This impassioned, politicised and engaged text alerts us to the possibilities that emerge for reimagining the human at the intersections of dis/ability and youth. Written with verve, humour and accountability, Slater illustrates that critical scholarship can be both theoretical and biographical in equal measure. A wonderful book.' Dan Goodley, University of Sheffield, UK 'Jenny Slater goes straight to the heart of the matter to interrogate the unreasonability of reasonable neo-liberal discourses that enact violence against disabled youth. Slater writes lucidly linking theory with first person accounts by disabled youth and with her own insightful reflections to foreground ableism masquerading as a reasonable discourse at the intersections of race, class, gender identity, and sexuality.' Nirmala Erevelles, The University of Alabama, USA
