From the rise of far-right regimes to the tumult of the COVID-19
pandemic, recent years have brought global upheaval as well as the
sedimentation of longstanding social inequalities. Analyzing the
complexities of the current political moment in different
geographic regions, this book addresses the paradoxical persistence
of neoliberal policies and practices, in order to ground the
pursuit of a more just world. Engaging theories of decoloniality,
racial capitalism, queer materialism, and social reproduction, this
book demonstrates the centrality of sexual politics to
neoliberalism, including both social relations and statecraft.
Drawing on ethnographic case studies, the authors show that gender
and sexuality may be the site for policies like those pertaining to
sex trafficking, which bundle together economics and changes to the
structure of the state. In other instances, sexual politics are
crucial components of policies on issues ranging from the growth of
financial services to migration. Tracing the role of sexual
politics across different localities and through different
political domains, this book delineates the paradoxical assemblage
that makes up contemporary neoliberal hegemony. In addition to
exploring contemporary social relations of neoliberal governance,
exploitation, domination, and exclusion, the authors also consider
gender and sexuality as forces that have shaped myriad forms of
community-based activism and resistance, including local efforts to
pursue new forms of social change. By tracing neoliberal paradoxes
across global sites, the book delineates the multiple dimensions of
economic and cultural restructuring that have characterized
neoliberal regimes and emergent activist responses to them. This
innovative analysis of the relationship between gender justice and
political economy will appeal to: interdisciplinary scholars in
social and cultural studies; legal and political theorists; and the
wide range of readers who are concerned with contemporary questions
of social justice.
