For more than a century, the city of Atlanta has been associated with Black achievement in education, business, politics, media, and music, earning it the nickname "the Black Mecca." Atlanta's long tradition of Black education dates back to Reconstruction, and produced an elite that flourished in spite of Jim Crow, rose to leadership during the civil rights movement, and then took power in the 1970s by building a coalition between White progressives, business interests, and Black Atlantans. But Atlanta's political leadership has consistently mishandled the Black poor.

Long overshadowed by Japan and China, South Korea is a small country that happens to be one of the great national success stories of the postwar period. From a failed state with no democratic tradition, ruined and partitioned by war, and sapped by a half-century of colonial rule, South Korea transformed itself in just 50 years into an economic powerhouse and a democracy that serves as a model for other countries. With no natural resources and a tradition of authoritarian rule, Korea managed to accomplish a second Asian miracle.

You’ve Been Blocked: The Search for Gay Male Perfection is a provocative discussion exploring various ways gay men were restricted from their true selves. Many were fundamentally blocked after being raised to be straight boys, even though they are not. In childhood, gay men commonly learn to take care of and “accommodate others” by repressing their true selves; instead of healthy development and self-respect, they seek external approval from parents, teachers, and peers, for example, for being something they are not.

En todo el mundo se han fundado movimientos de ideología antigénero dedicados a hacer circular la fantasía de que el género es una amenaza peligrosa para las familias, las culturas locales, la civilización, e incluso para el propio «hombre». Inflamados por la retórica de figuras públicas y operando en tándem con los engañosos relatos de la teoría crítica de la raza y el pánico xenófobo a la migración, estos movimientos han intentado derogar la justicia reproductiva, socavar las protecciones contra la violencia y despojar de sus derechos a las personas trans y queer demonizando las luchas por la igualdad.

Deshacer el género recoge reflexiones recientes de la autora sobre el género y la sexualidad, centrándose en el nuevo parentesco, el psicoanálisis y el tabú del incesto, el transgénero, el intersexo, las categorías de diagnóstico, la violencia social y la labor de transformación social.
