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

Great for protecting my beds soft , quiet , and easy to clean
Color: Grey, Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: Grey, Size: Queen (Pack of 1)
I had to purchase since a family member had surgery and wanted to protect the mattress. It is a sleep number and this waterproof cover fit good and I like that it is not noisy. I am considering purchasing for the other beds in my house because I like it so much. It is soft and quiet and waterproof, Good product. I like the different colors available.

Conforms well
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 1)
Have had for a while and holding up well on the bed. Conforms to the mattress very well. They compress it into a small bag with all the air out of it when you get it then when you pop the bag open everything starts to expand. After being on the bed for a day looked like a regular mattress pad. Have not had any wetness on it to see how it holds up there but very good for the price.
