Review

"Puar’s book-length intervention in Disability/Queer Studies could not have come at a better time, and is a great example of scholarship that poses difficult, necessary questions for the future of Disability Studies." (Anna Hamilton Global Comment 2017-11-16)"The Right to Maim proves a passionate and thought-provoking critique of the ways in which the state inscribes its power and social control upon the body. . . . An extraordinarily courageous and timely contribution to a radical struggle for global justice." (Sarah Rogers Al Jadid 2018-04-01)"Jasbir Puar’s work in The Right to Maim is crucial to understanding not only that the nature of settler colonialism is genocidal but also how that genocidal nature operates." (Fred Moten Social Text 2018-10-25)"Building on the analytics she advanced in Terrorist Assemblages, Jasbir Puar brings her pathbreaking work on the liberal state, sexuality, and biopolitics to bear on our understanding of disability." (J. Kehaulani Kauanui Social Text 2018-10-25)"Draws fascinating empirical and theoretical connections. . . . The Right to Maim has much to contribute to major debates occurring within and across disability studies, geographies of sexuality, feminist theory, and critical race studies. Puar charts new territory for feminist geographies." (Eden Kinkaid Gender, Place & Culture 2018-03-12)"Puar provides a scathing and politically important critique. . . . A compelling and important analysis." (Liat Ben-Moshe Women’s Studies Quarterly 2018-11-01)"Challenges the reader with a rigorous analysis. . . . A very engaging text that insists on a shared commitment for justice in Palestine and a responsibility within disability studies to consider far beyond the exceptional." (Joshua Falek Cultural Studies 2018-06-08)"Jasbir Puar’s work, bringing together disability studies, queer theory, Foucauldian biopolitics and settler colonial studies . . . reveals the centrality of the phenomena of debility, disability and capacity for understanding contemporary politics there. . . . The Right to Maim is a great gift to future scholars who should find in the book rich inspiration for further work. A fascinating intellectual agenda has been demarcated, and a prescient window into the politics of the colonisation of Palestine has been opened here." (James Eastwood Radical Philosophy 2018-12-01)"Hugely rewarding.  . . . An important book for scholars and students rethinking disability and capacity, but also for those studying Israel’s racialized permanent war against the Palestinians." (Ronit Lentin International Journal of Middle East Studies 2019-02-01)"Social theorists, social justice organizers, and indeed all anthropologists, would do well to read this book. The Right to Maim should also be read in social science courses that consider identity politics in America. As a kind of social experiment, it would be entertaining for someone as myopically unaware of the social inequality Puar is discussing, and the ways in which identity is formed outside of White Patriarchal Male Perspectives—like Jordan Peterson—to read this book." (Dina Omar Somatosphere 2019-02-28)

Review

"Jasbir K. Puar's latest book offers us a new vocabulary for understanding disability, debility, and capacity, three terms that anchor a sharp and provocative analysis of biopolitics of neoliberalism, police power, and militarization. Gaining recognition for disability within terms that instrumentalize and efface its meanings carries a great risk. So too does opting out of discourse altogether. Puar references a wide range of scholarly and activist resources to show how maiming becomes a deliberate goal in the continuing war on Palestine, and how the powers of whiteness deflect from the demographics of disability and ability. Lastly, her deft understanding of how the attribution of 'capacity' can work for and against people in precarious positions will prove crucial for a wiser and more radical struggle for justice." (Judith Butler)“In signature style, Jasbir K. Puar takes readers across multiple social and textual terrains in order to demonstrate the paradoxical embrace of the politics of disability in liberal biopolitics. Puar argues that even as liberalism expands its care for the disabled, it increasingly debilitates workers, subalterns, and others who find themselves at the wrong end of neoliberalism. Rather than simply celebrating the progressive politics of disability, trans identity, and gay youth health movements, The Right to Maim shows how each is a complex interchange of the volatile politics of precarity in contemporary biopower.” (Elizabeth A. Povinelli, author of Geontologies: A Requiem to Late Liberalism)"Jasbir K. Puar's The Right to Maim is obligatory reading for anyone concerned with the continuing operation and the ethical and political implications of racial power. By exploring the production of the 'disabled subject' as both a reiteration of how whiteness organizes the modern political text and an effect of the unleashing of the racial logic of obliteration (in US and Palestinian cities), Puar exposes the complexities and compromises troubling articulations of subjects of rights/protection." (Denise Ferreira Da Silva, author of Toward a Global Idea of Race)"Jasbir K. Puar's must-read book The Right to Maim revolutionizes the study of twenty-first-century war and biomedicine, offering a searingly impressive reconceptualization of disability, trans, and queer politics. Bringing together Middle East Studies and American Studies, global political economy and gendered conflict studies, this book's exciting power is its revelation of the incipient hegemony of maiming regimes. Puar's shattering conclusions draw upon rigorous and systematic empirical analysis, ultimately offering an enthralling vision for how to disarticulate disability politics from this maiming regime's dark power." (Paul Amar, author of The Security Archipelago: Human-Security States, Sexuality Politics, and the End of Neoliberalism)

You can tell this is an important book because it is bringing the trolls out. Puar is not afraid to look squarely at Palestine and name what she sees: a new biopolitical project of maiming the Palestinian population rather than killing it or letting it live, optimizing it or letting it die. In other words, she focuses on Palestine to add a vector to the analysis of biopolitics that is crucial for understanding the present--connecting it to U.S. police brutality as well. This is also a book that clarifies what rights-based analyses of disability miss: that entire populations are subject to regimes of slow injury, and that states can and will enfold certain disabled subjects to paper over the violence they do to other populations. It is an important read for scholars in queer studies, disability studies, cultural studies, political science, and political theory. Puar has enormous amounts of courage and verve, as a writer and a thinker.

This is a serious, thought-provoking book that challenge both academics and organizers to rethink how we think and relate to "disability issues" across our social movements and struggles. For example, recently I was asked in an interview to reflect on disability justice "issues" in our U.S. movements and found myself pulling Jasbir K. Puar's book off the shelf and referring to a passage.Specifically, I was asked "How might different subjects—whether differently abled, aged, or particularly vulnerable and precarious—be unevenly affected by the prospect of revolution/political transformation? What work is being done, or needs to be done, to ensure that radical transformation is radically inclusive?" My response began by reframing the question by quoting from the Right To Maim the following passage:[The Right To Maim] hopes to change the conversation to one that challenges the presumption that the distinction between who is disabled and who is not should fuel a pride movement. I explore if and how this binary effaces the biopolitical production of precarity and (un)livability that runs across these identities. The project, then, is not just one that hopes to contribute to intersectional movement building, though let me insist that this is crucial from the outset. That is to say, Black Lives Matter and the struggle to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine are not only movements “allied” with disability rights, nor are they only distinct disability justice issues. Rather, I am motivated to think of these fierce organizing practices collectively as a disability justice movement itself, as a movement that is demanding an end to so many conditions of precaritization that debilitate many populations. At our current political conjuncture, Black Lives Matter, the Palestinian solidarity movement, the protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline to protect sacred grounds and access to water: these are some of the movements that are leading the way to demand livable lives for all. These movements may not represent the most appealing or desired versions of disability pride. But they are movements anchored, in fact, in the lived experiences of debilitation, implicitly contesting the right to maim, and imagining multiple futures where bodily capacities and debilities are embraced rather than weaponized.”From there, I proceeded to talk about political frameworks that are rooted in decolonization. It would have been so much harder to make these links having not read Puar's book. As such, with full confidence I say this is a must have, read and tell about kind of book. It's written with the requisite intellectual rigor and informed by practical on-the-ground questions and concerns in order to make a timely and meaningful contribution to how we collectively resist, build, and love one another.

This is exceptional work, telling for queer studies, disability studies, and above all on the terrain of globalized biopolitical critique. In Puar's account Palestine is not the scene of colonial exception. She figures it rather as a kind of experimental theater for 21st-century biopolitics, in which new technologies of extraction and optimization get tried out, tested and adjusted, in the effort to find some profitable terrain *between* the familiar imperatives of making live, letting die. (One of these, on her account, is "debilitation.") In this - and given the wider and wider swaths of the globe inhabited by racialized surplus populations, outside the circuitry of declining capitalist production - the book offers a stark prefiguring of one kind of *future* for biopolitics at the scale of planetary life.

This is an amazing book! It's expansively theoretical and politically engaged. Puar deftly weaves through multiples fields that engage the transnational, disability, queer/feminist theory, critical race studies, and political economy. It's a real tour de force!

Far, far more than just a book addressing the use of violence as a form of social control over Palestinians, Puar’s The Right to Maim mobilizes multiple empirical cases to illuminate the role of the neoliberal state, both in the US and Israel/Palestine. In doing so offers readings a tour de force of theory that integrates, among others, critical race scholarship, with Foucaultian biopolitics, with decolonial theory, with disability studies resulting in a theoretical masterpiece that integrates conceptions of race, gender, sexuality (particular trans studies), and disability, in producing debilitated populations in the US and abroad. This book is destined to be foundational for scholars across the disciplines as we all wrestle with the myriad neocolonial forces impinging on people’s and nation’s self-determination. I have already recommended this book to over a dozen scholars and will continue to do so. Integrating it into all of our work will make us all better researchers and theorists and push the disciplines forward to enable us first, to truly get a handle on the ways in which global neoliberal politics continues to oppress so many in so many different ways and, second, begin seriously considering the ways in which scholars can contribute to liberation begun by those most impacted by (neo-)colonial domination.

This brilliant, important book moves our thinking forward on issues of disability, debility and capacity, especially in the context of organized state violence. A must read across a range of disciplines.

New title from one of the most gifted theorists writing today. Let the book press you/us. That's the point of critical theory.

A crucial analysis of the biopolitics of capacity, debility, and the unequal distributions of harm in the C21.
