ABSTRACT
This brief set of notes serves to take a final look at the unique intersectional complexities of the global south’s geopolitics and epistemology. Here I make a case for the value of adopting a new materialist/transmodern, critical ambivalence stance toward dividing global north and global south disability actors of color in terms of their unique kinds of knowledges and activist frames of reference. My point is that this ambivalence can strategically serve both divisive and unifying roles. Thus, it should be used selectively and with a strong dose of cautionary optimism by disabled folks of color on both sides of the north–south material precarity divide.
