Sexual Violence in authoritarian populism

My book Sexual Violence in Racial Capitalism will be out either later this year or early next, from Manchester University Press. I’ve done a few talks based on the book in the past year or so, but now the first published ‘sneak peek’ is out. I did an interview with the fantastic Aurelien Mondon from the Reactionary Politics Research Network, focused on chapter six of the manuscript.

The interview covers two concepts I set out in the book: the coloniality of sexual violence, and the racial capitalist protection racket. It also focuses on my analysis of sexual violence as a bordering project, looking at how and why authoritarian populism weaponises ideas of the sexually dangerous Other. Read it at the link below and please do share onwards.
