In Brilliant Imperfection Eli Clare uses memoir, history, and critical analysis to explore cure-the deeply held belief that body-minds considered broken need to be fixed. Cure serves many purposes. It saves lives, manipulates lives, and prioritizes some lives over others. It provides comfort, makes profits, justifies violence, and promises resolution to body-mind loss. Clare grapples with this knot of contradictions, maintaining that neither an anti-cure politics nor a pro-cure worldview can account for the messy, complex relationships we have with our body-minds. The stories he tells range widely, stretching from disability stereotypes to weight loss surgery, gender transition to skin lightening creams. At each turn, Clare weaves race, disability, sexuality, class, and gender together, insisting on the nonnegotiable value of body-mind difference. Into this mix, he adds environmental politics, thinking about ecosystem loss and restoration as a way of delving more deeply into cure. Ultimately Brilliant Imperfection reveals cure to be an ideology grounded in the twin notions of normal and natural, slippery and powerful, necessary and damaging all at the same time.Binding Type: Paperback

Quick and easy assembly
This room divider is quick and easy to assemble, and does a great job at providing coverage with its large dimensions. The construction is sturdy and the divider material provides great privacy. This divider is relatively lightweight but despite just the two legs and somewhat large size, it's quite stable.

Quickly Assemble
This can quickly be assembled. It has a sturdy metal frame and the fabric is thicker and you cannot see through it.

Decent Divider/Backdrop from the price.
This divider w tricky to put together with some of the parts not seeming to fit well, but it DID go together with some effort and patience. The backdrop material is thin and while not the best quality doors what it’s supposed to do. I like the neutral gray color as it t blends with everything. I can also hang other backdrops from the frame. Overall very pleased with this.
