Feminism Beyond Anger: A Future Built on Solidarity, Not Outrage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798186603504)

Every movement that ever mattered was angry. So why do some furious, righteous causes remake the world while others, no less furious and no less right, burn out with nothing to show for it?
Feminism Beyond Anger argues that we have been asking the wrong question about rage. For a very long time the argument has run in a single groove-is anger a vice to be disciplined away, or a virtue to be defended?-and it has told us almost nothing about what actually turns grievance into change. This book proposes that the fate of collective anger is decided not by its volume but by its route. Anger can be swallowed, and quietly corrode the one who swallows it. It can be discharged in a blaze that feels magnificent and changes nothing. Or it can be forged into structure-and that, it turns out, depends on a capacity most movements never think to build.
Ranging from the silencing of women's anger to the strange economics of online outrage, from the disciplined fury of AIDS activism to the patient machinery of legal change, and pausing to examine the contradictory gender scripts we hand one another without noticing, this is a book about learning to treat anger as fuel and information rather than as a moral verdict.
It is, in the end, an argument for a hopeful and unfamiliar idea: that a rage which is entirely right still has work to do-and that the work can be learned.
