New Publication – DANGEROUS SPACES: Violent Resistance, Self-Defense, and Insurrectional Struggle Against Gender

We are happy to announce our newest publication, Dangerous Spaces.

From the introduction:

We have attempted to compile a selection of articles on revolutionary violence against gender and those who maintain its control and management in our daily lives. When we began putting this together, our focus was solely on the theory and communiques that surfaced in 2010, positing an insurrectional practice against rapists and abusers that, recognizing the overwhelming failure of accountability processes, offered attack as an option for survivors. Much of this original purpose remains, as many of the pieces herein are theoretical critiques of accountability and “community,” as well as report-backs on violence against rapist filth. We have also chosen to include some more recent preliminary texts on the possibility of queer attack on gender. We chose texts that attempt to confront gendering violence in ways that reject the ideology of victimization (passive mourning, non-violent defensive reaction to perpetual attack, victimhood as purity), as well as the state/”community” solutions (hate crime legislation, political change, accountability processes that replicate penal procedure and speak endlessly of justice).
