In a context marked by the virulent return of patriarchal and white
supremacist attitudes, a new generation of feminist activists are
continuing the struggle: these are very feminist times. But how do
these and other movements relate to the contemporary posthuman
condition? In this important new book, Rosi Braidotti examines the
implications of the posthuman turn for feminist theory and
practice. She defines the posthuman turn as a convergence
between posthumanism on the one hand and post-anthropocentrism on
the other, and she examines their complex relationship and joint
impact. Braidotti claims that mainstream posthuman
scholarship has neglected feminist theory, while in fact feminism
is one of the precursors of the posthuman turn, through diverse
social movements and political traditions. Posthuman Feminism is an
analytic and creative response to contemporary conditions and a
call to action. It highlights the constraints but also the
potentialities available to feminist political subjects as they
confront the ever-growing injustices of sexism, racism, ecocide and
neoliberal capitalism. This bold new text by a leading feminist
philosopher will be of great interest to students and scholars
throughout the humanities and social sciences.
