Judith Butler

5.0

challenging emotional medium-paced

Honestly the best book Butler has written. The Arendt chapters are great, the Primo Levi chapter is powerful, and the Said chapter is incredible. (I'm sure if I understand Levinas and/or Benjamin, I'd like those chapters too.) Is it still Butler? Yes, with all the baggage of that. But it's the most ethically clear and cogent Butler I've read.
