Bhabha, Harvard University \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith Butler's work has challenged and changed the frames of reference within which people speak, think, and live categories of identity. Her innovative and politically farreaching insight that gender is performative and that identity is a scene of construction continues to exert a crucial impact in numerous critical-theoretical fields, including politics, philosophy, feminist and queer theory, literary and cultural studies. Behind Butler's radical theorizations of gender, sex, sexuality, power, and \"race\" lies the urgent normative inquiry into the differential way the human is produced and effaced within the field of contemporary power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Judith Butler Reader\u003c\/i\u003e is a collaborative effort by Sara Salih and Judith Butler to bring together writings that span Butler's impressive career as a critical philosopher, including selections from both well-known and lesser-known works.
