One of the latest books to have been indexed by Southwest Humanities, Feminism against Cisness (Duke University Press, 2024), edited by Emma Heany, has just recently been published. This collection of essays—which is part of Duke University Press’s series ASTERISK: Gender, Trans-, and All That Comes After—critically explores the concept of cisness, linking it to “the enforcement of white and bourgeois standards of gender comportment that naturalize brutalizing race and class hierarchies.” Ranging from historical and archival analysis to materialist theories of transness and feminism, the essays collected here offer provocative and engaging readings of compulsory cisness and point toward developments in feminist thought that engage with sexual difference beyond this ideology.
