Animacies: Biopolitics, Racial Mattering, and Queer Affect (Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa Lowe) by Mel Y. Chen
I was enjoying this book pretty thoroughly, and then I got to the end of Chapter Six, in which Chen both affirms the belief that vaccines cause childhood autism, and writes about Temple Grandin in a completely non-critical way, with no mention of their career as a designer of slaughterhouse technology. Now I feel like I can't trust anything from this book - Chen all but destroyed their own credibility for me. So disappointing!
