“Intoxicated thinks about and through molecular intimacies. We are all chemically restrained, either structurally or voluntarily, some more the former than the latter. We are all too slow (or intoxicated), too fast (or agitated), and never quite right. ‘Take my hand,’ Mel Y. Chen invites the reader, ‘and slump, stumble, shake, and tumble with me.’ These alternate forms of cognition and movement promise new ways of knowing in the academy and beyond.” -- Cynthia Wu, Professor of Gender Studies and Asian American Studies, Indiana University “In the interlaced archives of toxicity, disability, and race, Mel Y. Chen brilliantly agitates the past and helps us unlearn and redistribute these key terms. The book gifts us with profoundly reorienting paths that undo, rather than reify, toxicity, pointing readers toward an alterwise of vibrating non-innocent transecologies of intoxicated intimacy.” -- M. Murphy, author of * The Economization of Life *
