What is Gender Nihilism? A Reader

Description

"A collection gathering readings for discussions on ending gender oppression, not by the proliferation or liberation of gender(s), but by its catastrophic cancellation. The reader brings together writings as old as 1883 and as recent as 2015, juxtaposing nihilist, radical feminist, queer, trans, anticolonial, communizing, and insurrectionary approaches with other unclassifiable textual/existential disruptions"--Little Black Cart bookseller's website.
