Queering Families

"The material and symbolic order of the family still structures our domination. Tamara Lea Spira's Queering Families offers the queer reproductive justice politics we need now. Spira's rigorous analysis sheds light on the harrowing conditions we are currently facing, grounded in wisdom from critical traditions that can help us shape discernment and action now."--Dean Spade, author of Love in a F*cked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together "The queer parent occupies a fraught position within US political debates surrounding adoption, reproductive technologies, and the family. Queering Families thinks through this position to advance a queer politics of reproductive justice drawn through a history and legacy of Black and queer of color feminisms, making it important reading for those concerned with ARTs, reproductive justice, and feminist and queer theory."--Kalindi Vora, Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Yale University
