WHO’S AFRAID OF GENDER?

Découvrez le dernier essai de la plus grande philosophe et théoricienne du genre du XXIe siècle.

An enlightening, essential account of how a fear of gender is fuelling reactionary politics around the world.

Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on gender that have become central to right-wing movements today.
Global networks have formed ‘anti-gender ideology movements’ dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous threat. To families, to local cultures, civilization – and even to ‘man’ himself.

Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to abolish reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence and strip trans and queer people of their rights.

But what, exactly, is so disturbing about gender?

In this vital, courageous book, Butler carefully examines how ‘gender’ has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes. But also fascist formations and transexclusionary feminists and the concrete ways in which this phantasm works.

Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of critical race theory and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.

An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, Who's Afraid of Gender? is a galvanizing call to make a broad coalition with all those who struggle for equality and fight injustice.
