5.0

“Rather, releasing radical democratic potentials from our own expanding alliances can show we are on the side of livable life, love in all its difficulties, and freedom, making those ideals so compelling that no one can look away, making desire desirable again in such a way that people want to live, and want others to live, in the world we envision, where gender and desire belong to what we mean by freedom and equality.”

this is fantastic. butler is fantastic. that’s the whole review.

Informative and illuminating on a world scale, rather than just a US lens, which is often hot these books have been written (in my experience).

Amazing and thoughtful. I'm glad I listened to the audiobook. Judith Butler's work is a little bit easier for me to follow when I'm listening and their voice is quite pleasant. I liked this book so much I went out and bought a hard copy. Definitely recommended.
