Book Title: Normal Life
Author: Dean Spade
Selection Statement:
Upon its original release in 2011, Spade's book synthesized his years of writing, lawyering, and organizing on behalf of multiply marginalized trans people. It demonstrates that trans life chances will never improve unless there is sustained transformation of the systems - legal, carceral, economic, healthcare, educational - that work to truncate and immiserate trans lives. His work continues to transform my thinking, teaching, and advocacy, and Normal Life has a place on most all my syllabi.
