By ["Sara Ahmed"]
How do emotions shape politics, communities, and the boundaries of belonging?
In The Cultural Politics of Emotion, acclaimed feminist scholar Sara Ahmed challenges the idea that emotions are private, internal states. Instead, she shows how feelings such as fear, hate, shame, love, and disgust circulate between bodies, shaping social norms, national identities, and political power.
Drawing on feminist theory, queer studies, sociology, and cultural analysis, Ahmed examines how emotions “stick” to certain bodies and texts—defining who belongs and who does not. Through incisive readings of public discourse, political rhetoric, and everyday narratives, she reveals how emotions organize relationships of power and exclusion in contemporary society.
A foundational text in feminist and cultural theory, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the deep emotional structures behind politics, identity, and social life.
