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 readers 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. Review: Stunning - In this beautifully written and powerful hybrid text, Clare blends memoir, history, theory, and cultural analysis that embodies and reflects the queer intersectionality of his lived experience. Clare poetically traces his own history, from his rural roots as a sexually abused young girl-who-never-quite-identified-as-a-girl to a college student/emergent lesbian who experienced urban life to the trans identity he now inhabits. Throughout this set of essays, Clare questions the terminology we use to claim membership in certain communities and perceptively examines the intersectional nature of all identities. Articulate, poignant, candid, and challenging, this text is unlike anything I’ve never read—the world needs more voices like Clare’s. Review: Authors in here has great sense of humor - I've only read parts of this book, but one author stood out to me. Eli Clare has a great sense of humor in writing about discourses of disability and sexuality. He was able to open my eyes to a sexual minority that's rarely talked about in dominant society/culture in a very humorous, yet serious way. I highly suggest this book to anyone who wants to learn more about disability and sexuality. It helped me view disabled individuals as autonomous people who are entitled to exercising sexual agency. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #388,699 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #191 in Environmentalist & Naturalist Biographies #443 in LGBTQ+ Demographic Studies #713 in Environmentalism | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 117 Reviews | ## Images ![Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81I-5MuWlUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning *by J***N on April 28, 2021* In this beautifully written and powerful hybrid text, Clare blends memoir, history, theory, and cultural analysis that embodies and reflects the queer intersectionality of his lived experience.

Thisbook struck me at emotional and mental levels and has left me with a great deal to think about. One excellent aspect is how to she explains that solutions may never be as simple as we want them to be, but taking the time to understand multiple stories and multiple levels of truth will help us to reach new heights of achievement and equality. I would also strongly recomment Pushing the Limits, ed by Shelley Tremain and Restricted Access, ed by Victoria Brownworth--both collections of works by a diverse group of queer women with disabilities. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/17458385-exile-and-pride-disability-queerness-and-liberation](https://www.desertcart.in/products/17458385-exile-and-pride-disability-queerness-and-liberation) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
