Praise for Shell-Shocked

“Shell-Shocked is a must-read for anyone recovering from the disorientation and desensitization of the Trump years. Honig’s feminist lens permits us to see past an overwhelming barrage of words, images, and video outtakes to reveal how patriarchy remains the foundation of so much of what ails us. Honig brings keen observation and wry humor to dazzling readings of literature, cinema, and cable news, as well as to the everyday moments that have troubled and confounded us. Her insights not only make us smarter; they promise to equip us for the work toward justice that lies ahead.”

—Martha S. Jones, author of Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All

“Honig’s book is precise because precision is what the technique of shock needs to exclude and negate. It is funny and ironic because irony is what white supremacist dogma cannot bear. It is dedicated to collective feminist action because neoliberalism simulates individualism and creates fearful isolation.”

—Carolin Emcke, author of How We Desire

“A breath of fresh air. Honig’s take on our current political scene is always illuminating but never despairing. Shell-Shocked is precisely what we need now to re-sensitize ourselves to the modes of anti-democratic and patriarchal power that shape our moment, without losing hope, creativity, or humor in how to fight for democratic action and equality.”

—Elisabeth Anker, author of Orgies of Feeling: Melodrama and the Politics of Freedom
