Understanding Judith Butler

A rather perfect textbook at the right level. It opens up issues of transgender very well and is critical in just the right tone. Much needed in media and cultural studies

A major addition to broaden students′ knowledge on language, gender and sexuality issues. -- Dr Ayo Amuda * drupal *
This is a very good introduction to the work of Judith Butler, which is of great importance to contemporary thinking, but also complex to make sense of, in its richness. I would recommend it as an introduction from which to begin exploring Butler′s main contributions to philosophy and gender studies. -- Dr Dario Pellegrini * drupal *
Excellent coverage of the range of Butler′s work without too much dilution. Accessible for 3rd year UG students as well as Masters students. -- Dr Deryn Guest * drupal *
This volume is an accessible and well-structured introduction to the complexities of Butler′s work - I will add it to my list of supplementary reading for a third year undergraduate course on ′Theorizing Difference′ for students on English Literature programmes. -- Dr R White * drupal *
A useful insight into Butler′s theories, very accessible for students -- Miss Charlotte Jones * drupal *

Butler is such an important figure in post modernist /feminist research that I will certainly be recommending this book to students who are using either of those theoretical approaches in their work. -- Ms Amanda French * drupal *
A clearly articulated and argued book of how to understand the complex writing of Judith Butler. I will definitely recommend the book for those who are studying post-modernism/feminism. -- Ms Eva Mikuska * drupal *
This will be very helpful to encourage students to not give up on Butler too fast! -- Ms Roswitha Kersten-Pejanic * drupal *
This book is ideal for under-graduate students who are encountering Judith Butler for the first time. It should be highly recommended to students studying not only gender-related issues, but who are doing any textual analysis. We unfortunately could not recommend the work simply because we are looking specifically for sources for our post-graduate students. -- Professor Beschara Karam * drupal *
Excellent book! -- Professor Jeanette Lemmergaard * drupal *
