Title: Undoing suicidism : a trans, queer, crip approach to rethinking (assisted) suicide / Alexandre Baril ; foreword by Robert McRuer.

Description: Philadelphia : Temple University Press, 2023. | This book includes some material from previously published articles/chapters. An earlier version of Chapter 1 (and short passages in other chapters and the introduction) previously appeared in Disability Studies Quarterly. An earlier version of Chapter 2 (and a passage in the introduction) previously appeared in Somatechnics. Some other short passages previously appeared in Criminologie (in French), Frontières (in French), and The Disability Bioethics Reader. | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “This book proposes a radical queercrip reconceptualization of suicide and assisted suicide, offering the first comprehensive antisuicidist and intersectional theorization of its kind. Alexandre Baril argues that current logics of prevention create a system of structural suicidism that oppresses, stigmatizes, and pathologizes marginalized individuals and communities experiencing suicidality”—Provided by publisher.
