Without fear

"The violence we are seeing is a reaction to the progress we have made, and that means we must keep moving forward and accept that this is a continuous struggle, a struggle in which principles are on our side."

Judith Butler, one of the world's most renowned philosophers for her contributions to feminism, human rights advocacy, and political thought, traces, in this new book, the forms of resistance to the multiple forms of violence, from torture for political reasons and crimes against women to the decision to deny the horrors of the past, contempt against migrants, or the global inequality that characterizes our contemporary societies.

Without Fear collects a series of recent lectures by the author on justice, memory, mourning, criticism, and dissent, in which she formulates, in addition to her invaluable philosophical reflections, a set of conceptual tools to rethink resistance against any form of oppression.
