“Pieri’s book is exemplary in demonstrating how social scientific data collection can be guided by critical theory and principles. Her engagement with both crip studies and queer theory aids in building disciplinary connections, and as such, facilitates valuable scholarly dialogue to further add to crip-queer theorizations. Her book serves as an exciting contribution to both crip and queer theory, and encourages scholars toconsider the potential for a politicized chroniqueer identity in the future.” (Emily Mendelson, The Polyphony, thepolyphony.org, April 28, 2023)
“Mari Pieri successfully delivers an informative and humanising tone throughout the entire work. … In all, Mari Pieri successfully compiles shared experience across different countries and gives a much needed platform for LGBTQ+ people with chronic illness to be heard. She both manages to give cultural context and present similarities in voices across different backgrounds to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions that remain pervasive across Western society today.” (Sophie Litherland, Inclusive Research Collective, inclusiverc.com, January 31, 2023) “This book is a vital addition to the burgeoning research literature on LGBTQ+ people and disability, and to sexuality and gender identity studies more broadly. It presents the first sociological study of its kind to examine chronic illnesses that LGBTQ+ people live with and make sense of in their lives. Beautifully written, accessible and thoroughly engaging, this book invites us all to recognize that disabling chronic illnesses can often be invisible to us as gender and sexuality, too, can, or highlighted as too visible when compared to a hetero- and gender-normative world built upon productive time. This book asks us to consider who is deemed productive and non-productive and how this impacts our sense of LGBTQ+ people with chronic illnesses who may (have to) do time differently. The book is brimming with innovative theories and methods and some truly insightful findings.” (Zowie Davy, Associate Professor in LGBTQI Researchat De Montfort University, UK)
