description: The contributors to Crip Genealogies reorient the field of disability studies by centering the work of transnational feminism queer of color critique and trans scholarship and activism. They challenge the white Western and Northern rights-based genealogy of disability studies showing how a single coherent narrative of the field is a mode of exclusion that relies on logics of whiteness and imperialism. The contributors examine how disability justice activists work in concert with other social justice projects explore crip environments create alternate disciplinary genealogies and reject notions of the model minority. Throughout they demonstrate how the mandate for a single genealogy of the discipline whitewashes disability and continues forms of violence. 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.Contributors.
