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.
