" A profoundly urgent intervention. Naomi Klein " A timely must - read for anyone actively invested in re - imagining collective futurity. Claudia Rankine From a global icon a bold essential account of how a fear of gender is fueling reactionary politics around the world. Judith Butler the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book Gender Trouble 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 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. The aim of Who's Afraid of Gender? 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. An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment Who's Afraid of Gender? 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.
