The Right to Maim
Debility, Capacity, Disability
Jasbir K. Puar
While Puar is best known for her work on ‘homonationalism,’ this book is essential for WLW studies as it examines how queer bodies (particularly women and people of color) are categorized as ‘disabled’ or ‘productive’ by the state. It is a high-level theoretical work that is frequently cited in lesbian and queer disability studies.
