In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

Haraway positioned her cyborg as an intervention not only in Western dualism but especially in Western feminism, and her critique was focused along two fronts: first, feminist dismissals of science and technology, and second, feminist reliance on “universal, totalizing theory.”6 She argued that the cyborg's non-innocence—its origins in a militarized and colonizing technoscience—was precisely what made it a potentially productive tool for feminist analysis. (...) Capable of “holding incompatible things together because both or all are necessary and true,” the cyborg rejects binary logic and embraces contradiction.9 (查看原文)
For Haraway, the boundary-crossing cyborg could be a productive intervention in such debates, shifting the terrain of feminist thought and practice from monolithic identities to shifting affinities. Drawing on Chela Sandoval's work on women of color and “oppositional consciousness,” Haraway pushes for a feminism not “on the basis of natural identification, but…on the basis of conscious coalition, of affinity, of political kinship.”14 Through her cyborg figure, she suggests that “the future of socialist feminism” requires a politics open to the possibility that “[g]ender might not be a global identity after all, even if it has profound historical breadth and depth.”15 (查看原文)

深度一般但涉及面广，通过分析queer/crip time遭遇的normative future反思了以productivity/reproduction为中心的capitalist time，并呈现出了feminist, queer和crip之间intersection的可能性。

书名直白亮出联盟政治的愿景，但Kafer并未预设不同弱势群体之间的天然亲和，而是强调联盟的艰难与必要（如导言指出美国残障权利运动不时与右翼合流）。全书借鉴酷儿理论中的时间性论述（主流时间轴如何被种种霸权形塑），力图挑战“残障无未来、未来无残障”的健全主义迷思，探索crip futurity的激进政治想象。
