Judith Butler - Quem Tem Medo do Género?

Quem Tem Medo do Género? a work of great courage and analytical precision, directly addresses the attacks on gender that have become central to contemporary right-wing movements.

Exposing the anti-intellectualism and internal contradictions of anti-gender ideology, Judith Butler explores how gender has been turned into a kind of “phantom” by authoritarian regimes, fascist groups, trans-exclusionary feminists, and the Vatican. Interwoven with distorted narratives around critical race theory and growing anxieties over immigration, the anti-gender movement fuels aggressive nationalism, vilifies struggles for equality, and seeks to reverse hard-won legal victories in areas such as sexual freedom, reproductive justice, gender equality, women’s rights, queer rights, and trans rights—leaving millions vulnerable to discrimination and violence. By envisioning freer, more compassionate alternatives, Judith Butler offers a hopeful, timely, and enduring work of social and political analysis.
