Agnieszka Graff and Elżbieta Korolczuk’s book Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment is now also available in Polish.

Kto się boi gender? Prawica, populizm i feministyczne strategie oporu has just been released with Wydawnictwo Krytyka Polityczna. The book charts the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against “gender ideology” and feminist efforts to counteract it. The authors offer a novel conceptualization of the relationship between the ultraconservative anti-gender movement and right-wing populist parties, examining the opportunistic synergy between these actors.

The book is available on the publisher’s website.

At the same time, the English version of the book is available in open access.

We congratulate the authors and highly encourage you to get familiar with either English or Polish version of the book, as it is an important study for those doing research in politics, cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, and sociology.
