Politics of the Body

Book • 2014

In *The Politics of the Body*, Alison Phipps explores the intersection of neoliberalism and neoconservatism with gender, examining topics such as sexual violence, gender and Islam, the commodification of the sex industry, and reproductive regimes.

The book critiques mainstream feminism's complicity with these discourses and their effects on women's bodies.

Phipps uses Foucauldian genealogy to uncover hidden power structures and their influence on social and political spheres.
