The first collection of its kind, Transgender Marxism is a
provocative and groundbreaking union of transgender studies and
Marxist theory. Exploring trans lives and movements, the authors
delve into the experience of surviving as transgender under
capitalism. They explore the pressures, oppression and state
persecution faced by trans people living in capitalist societies,
their tenuous positions in the workplace and the home, and give a
powerful response to right-wing scaremongering against 'gender
ideology'. Reflecting on the relations between gender and labour,
these essays reveal the structure of antagonisms faced by gender
non-conforming people within society. Looking at the history of
transgender movements, Marxist interventions into developmental
theory, psychoanalysis and workplace ethnography, the authors
conclude that for trans liberation, capitalism must be abolished.

A Huffington Post Book of the Year, 2018 A Buzzfeed Book of the
Year, 2018 'Quite simply extraordinary... Imagine if Maggie Nelson,
Daphne du Maurier and Daniel Defoe collaborated.' Sarah Perry,
author of The Essex Serpent Jack Sheppard - a transgender
carpenter's apprentice - has fled his master's house to become a
notorious prison break artist, and Bess Khan has escaped the
draining of the fenlands to become a revolutionary mastermind.
Together, they find themselves at the center of a web of corruption
leading back to the dreaded Thief-Catcher General ... ...Or so we
are told in a mysterious manuscript unearthed by one Professor R.
Voth. Voth traces the origins and authenticity of the manuscript as
Jack and Bess trace the connections between the bowels of Newgate
Prison and the dissection chambers of the Royal College, in a bawdy
collision of a novel about gender, love, and liberation.
