Reviews
Paradoxes of Neoliberalism steps boldly into the treacherous terrain of neoliberal economics in its varied settings. The authors consider both transnational geopolitics and local policies to provide lucid accounts of how visions of justice and emancipation are made actionable. To this end, they describe persistent dynamics of gendered humanitarian rescue and proactive state intervention, in which vulnerability and precarity are discursively intertwined. What emerges is a volatile matrix of class, racial, and gender tensions alongside a punitive moralism that more often than not tacitly turns reparation into regulation. Josephine Ho, Center for the Study of Sexualities, Central University, Taiwan This landmark collaboration unites some of the most brilliant insights and bold voices of queer materialism, left intersectional analysis, and transnational feminism. Offering a unique blend of academia and activism, and voices from four continents, this book reveals how “sex” works to both mystify and manifest the radical ambivalences and jarring crises of 21st-century capitalism. How can transnational feminism and queer radicalism seek justice without giving license to the prerogatives of regulatory security states, disciplinary fiscal regimes, or narrowing nationalisms? In this collection, a transformative conversation emerges that will engage readers and stimulate generative debates among students, activists, and members of the public. Paul Amar, Professor of Global Studies, UC Santa Barbara This enlightening book is a vital tool for activists and a must-read for academics concerned with cultural and political change. Bernstein and Jakobsen have brought together a collection of insightful authors for a timely, collaborative effort. Together, they delve into the practical consequences of neoliberalism´s moralism and punitivism. Their grounded vision of how sex and gender relations foster injustice and, at the same time, how attending to those same sex and gender issues can contribute to justice is carefully researched and calls into question prevailing narratives around sexual violence, domestic work, and a host of other issues. Marta Lamas, Center for Research and Studies on Gender, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) This ambitious, wide-ranging, collaborative research project maps practices of gendered and racialized labor, sex work, and migration across the globe under neoliberal conditions of precarity. What they find are the paradoxes, ambivalences and contradictions that mark our political present. And crucially, they also brightly illuminate the work social justice advocates have before us.
