Reviews

In this timely and compelling book, Giada Bonu Rosenkranz masterfully bridges feminist and social movement studies, illuminating the pivotal role of affect and emotions in feminist mobilization. Through rich empirical analysis of feminist spaces in Italy and Spain, she demonstrates how affective politics shape resistance and collective empowerment amidst conservative backlash. A must-read for scholars of gender, collective action, and emotions. Verta Taylor, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Feminist Studies, University of California Santa Barbara Set in a time of growing anti-gender sentiment, Rosenkranz offers nuanced insights into how feminist activism continues. Centering affect and emotions, she reveals the transformative power of feminist safer spaces. An important read for all concerned with the increase in anti-feminism and democratic backsliding, as well as how feminists continue to resist in such times. Jo Reger, Professor of Sociology, Oakland University This groundbreaking book reveals how feminist theory enriches social movements theory by applying affect approaches to analyze feminist spaces in Italy and Spain. It highlights the transformative power of feminist affect-inspired collective action that envisions deep democracy in practice advocating social value over market-driven ones. Essential reading for scholars of politics, sociology, feminism, and democracy! Emanuela Lombardo, Associate Professor of Political Science, Universidad Complutense de Madrid
