Global networks have formed \"anti-gender ideology movements\" that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous, perhaps diabolical, threat to families, local cultures, civilization--and even \"man\" himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe aim of \u003ci\u003eWho's Afraid of Gender?\u003c\/i\u003e is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how \"gender\" has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, and transexclusionary feminists. In their vital, courageous new book, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of \"gender\" collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of \"critical race theory\" and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality, fuels aggressive nationalism, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, \u003ci\u003eWho's Afraid of Gender?\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements and to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless--a book whose verve and rigor only they could deliver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.24w x 1.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374608224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2024 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith Butler\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eGender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of \"Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Psychic Life of Power: Theories of Subjection, Excitable Speech, Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Force of Non-Violence\u003c\/i\u003e.
