From a global icon, a bold, essential account of how fear of gender is fueling reactionary politics around the world.
Judith Butler, the pioneering theorist whose iconic book Gender Trouble redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts one of the most pressing issues of our time. So-called gender ideologyand its supposed dangershas provoked reactionary backlash across the world. Global networks spread the idea that gender is a dangerous, if not diabolical, ideology threatening to destroy families, local cultures, civilizationsand even "man" himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of religious leaders, politicians, and public figures, this movement has taken aim at the rights of queer and trans people and sought to restrict the freedoms of women, pushing anti-gender legislation and at times perpetuating violence.
But what, exactly, is so scary about gender? In their monumental book, Butler examines, with characteristic rigor and verve, how gender became a convenient catchall boogeymana phantasmfor myriad overlapping, and often contradicting, anxieties. From former colonial states in Africa and Asia classifying gender as a Western imposition to the Vaticans warnings that gender erodes traditional values, Butler powerfully demonstrates how the fears surrounding gender not only are misguided and uninformed but also sow the seeds for authoritarian control and the erosion of public discourse.
An urgent intervention, a bold call for a freer and more allied world, Who's Afraid of Gender? is a landmark work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timelessa book only Butler could write.
