"Butler's analysis of censorship is nuanced, and as always she resists drawing easy conclusions. The political issues she considers are still very relevant today, even though the book was published well over a decade ago. The theory of accountability that Butler proposes in Excitable Speech sets the stage for the even better Giving an Account of Oneself."
"It is weird to see Catharine Mackinnon cited favorably. That said this was a pretty good book, and the only time I've seen someone use the word 'gangsta' in print and not have it come off as stupid."
"Interrogates Austin's speech act theory to produce a nuanced analysis of hate speech and related phenomena. This book takes Bourdieu's notion of the performative as iterative of social arrangements and turns it on its head by examining the transformative capacity of speech, even that usually assumed to be harmful."
