Transgender Marxism: an Introduction

Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom

In recent years, there has been unprecedented growth in the visibility and sheer number of people who identify with a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.

Without the police, this reasoning runs, society itself would cease to exist. But the institution that is American policing has not always existed, let alone...

What is “mental health” and how has it been shaped by the law? From defining wellness to restricting the rights of the unwell, setting parameters for treatment, and regulating and protecting the pharmaceutical companies that develop and market psychological drugs (often to immense profits), government laws are fundamental to the ways mental health is experienced, perceived, policed, and commodified. But, how did the modern legal regime of mental...
