In this seminal text, Robert McRuer points to the neoliberal traps that are present in certain forms of activism based on identities. McRuer, based on theoretical and analytical tools circumscribed between queer and crip theory, discusses how it is necessary to observe the material contexts in which certain identities are positively at the expense of others.
