Social Justice Online Book Group - "Who's Afraid of Gender?" by Judith Butler

Join us on the fourth Wednesday of every month for a safe place to discuss books related to various social justice topics. On Wednesday, July 22nd we will be discussing Who's Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler. Judith Butler confronts the attacks on 'gender' that have become central to right-wing movements today. Who's Afraid of Gender? examines how 'gender' has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, and transexclusionary feminists. In this book, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of gender collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction, resulting in a movement that demonizes struggles for equality, fuels aggressive nationalism, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.
