Just incredible--thought-provoking, and really makes me want to be more attentive to like my entire life. I think if you've read many of the women of color feminists she cites, you might feel like this book isn't saying much new, but it draws all of these lines of thought together in such a slim little volume that is ultimately pretty accessible. (I would say maybe a challenge to undergrads without much experience, but I think they could definitely take to it with interest if it was done carefully.) Just so many good explorations and such a rooted sense of theory and praxis. Really strongly recommend to all folks! ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Even as feminism has become increasingly central to our ideas about institutions, relationships, and everyday life, the term used to diagnose the problem--"patriarchy"--Is used so loosely that it has lost its meaning. In Vexy Thing Imani Perry resurrects patriarchy as a target of critique, recentering it to contemporary discussions of feminism through a social and literary analysis of cultural artifacts from the Enlightenment to the present. Drawing on a rich array of sources--from nineteenth-century slavery court cases and historical vignettes to writings by Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde and art by Kara Walker and Wangechi Mutu--Perry shows how the figure of the patriarch emerged as part and parcel of modernity, the nation-state, the Industrial Revolution, and globalization. She also outlines how digital media and technology, neoliberalism, and the security state continue to prop up patriarchy. By exploring the past and present of patriarchy in the world we have inherited and are building for the future, Perry exposes its mechanisms of domination as a necessary precursor to dismantling it.
