But how do these and other movements relate to the contemporary posthuman condition? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this important new book, Rosi Braidotti examines the implications of the posthuman turn for feminist theory and practice.  She defines the posthuman turn as a convergence between posthumanism on the one hand and post-anthropocentrism on the other, and she examines their complex relationship and joint impact. Braidotti claims that mainstream posthuman scholarship has neglected feminist theory, while in fact feminism is one of the precursors of the posthuman turn, through diverse social movements and political traditions. \u003ci\u003ePosthuman Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e is an analytic and creative response to contemporary conditions and a call to action. It highlights the constraints but also the potentialities available to feminist political subjects as they confront the ever-growing injustices of sexism, racism, ecocide and neoliberal capitalism. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This bold new text by a leading feminist philosopher will be of great interest to students and scholars throughout the humanities and social sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This profound and energising book is uncannily insightful: read it as a talisman against the present and as a map out of its baleful conditions.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Fuller, Goldsmiths, University of London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“\u003ci\u003ePosthumanism Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e is astonishingly wide-ranging and characteristically impressive in its contemporary relevance. Attending closely to submerged knowledge traditions including Indigenous and Black perspectives, Braidotti enriches our understanding of both posthumanism and feminism by showing how they are mutually generative and intimately imbricated.
