{"product_id":"the-new-politics-of-online-akane-kanai-9781478033219","title":"The New Politics of Online Feminism","description":"In \u003ci\u003eThe New Politics of Online Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e, Akane Kanai argues that for young feminists, online feminist culture often poses more dilemmas than it solves. Moving beyond a narrow characterization of online feminism as a site of activism and resistance, Kanai attends to the feminist quandaries of being politically conscientious as life on- and offline become inseparable. Kanai suggests that while it has seemingly never been more important to avoid complicity with patriarchy, racism, and other oppressions, the self has remained the central site of agency and transformation--casting politics in terms of individual scrupulousness, diligence, and improvement. Under these circumstances, a feminist lens becomes about benchmarking, comparing, and anxiously avoiding the public mistakes that others make in online life. Kanai foregrounds the importance of moving beyond the polarities of correct and incorrect feeling to enable the everyday practices of listening to and learning about experience and difference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akane Kanai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478033215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478033219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs","brand":"Akane Kanai","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425619001599,"sku":"9781478033219","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32fec2ab-ead0-457a-b5bf-0b6147a6b1fe.jpg?v=1761540463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-politics-of-online-akane-kanai-9781478033219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
