Recognizing that trans studies emerged as a departure from and denial of madness, illness, and disability, Awkward-Rich advocates for a trans criticism that challenges this disavowal. By tracing the co-production of the categories of disabled and transgender in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century and analyzing transmasculine literature and theory by authors such as Eli Clare, Elliott DeLine, Dylan Scholinski, and others, Awkward-Rich proposes that embracing maladjustment can offer fresh insights into the challenges arising from the complex interplay between trans, feminist, and queer identities. Through this exploration, he compellingly demonstrates that maladjustment, rather than impeding or restricting trans life, thought, and creativity, has played and will continue to play a vital role in their development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAwkward-Rich's work received recognition with the Duke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award, further solidifying his contributions to the field. His book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of transphobia, cultural production, and maladjustment, shedding light on the complexities and nuances of these issues. It is a valuable resource for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the multifaceted dynamics of gender and sexuality in contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 318g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781478018681\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cameron Awkward-Rich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095642927354,"sku":"9781478018681","price":21.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1667569249759_book.jpg?v=1668084431","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-terrible-we-thinking-with-trans-maladjustment-9781478018681","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
