With this book, Tamara Lea Spira highlights the growing embrace of normative family structures by LGBTQ+ movements—calling into question how many queers, once deemed unfit to parent, have become contradictory agents within the US empire's racial and colonial agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimultaneously, \u003cem\u003eQueering Families\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates the rich history of queer reproductive justice, from the radical movements of the 1970s through the present, led by Black, decolonial, and queer of color feminist activists. Ultimately, Spira argues that queering reproductive justice impels us to build communities of care to cherish and uphold the lives of those who, defying normativity's violent stranglehold, are deemed to be unworthy of life. She issues the call to lovingly wager a future for the world's children, the planet, and all living beings against all odds, and in increasingly perilous times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471423291628,"sku":"9780520386204","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520386204-queering-families.jpg?v=1775242699"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/tamara-lea-spira.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
