Right to Maim

In "Right to Maim," author Jasbir K. Puar presents a compelling exploration of the intersection between the liberal state, sexuality, and biopolitics, published by Duke University Press in 2017. This thought-provoking hardback spans 277 pages, delving into how settler colonial states, particularly through the lens of Israel's occupation of Palestine, manipulate concepts of disability to assert control over bodies and populations. Puar's groundbreaking analysis challenges conventional narratives, providing readers with a critical perspective on the ways in which states wield power through the production of disability. Engaging and insightful, "Right to Maim" is an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of contemporary governance and its impact on marginalized communities.
