Reviews
What Gender Is, What Gender Does is a major intervention in today s stagnant theoretical debates on gender in its twenty-first-century permutations. With characteristic assertiveness, Judith Roof takes us beyond identity politics to forge a model of polymorphous sexuation that exposes gender regimes including those based in queer, transgender, and performative thought to cover up and perpetuate the asymmetries of sexual difference as immutable truth. Renee C. Hoogland, Wayne State University
