In Willful Subjects Sara Ahmed explores willfulness as a charge often made by some against others. One history of will is a history of attempts to eliminate willfulness from the will. Delving into philosophical & literary texts, Ahmed examines the relation between will & willfulness, ill will & good will, & the particular will & general will. Her reflections shed light on how will is embedded in a political & cultural landscape, how it is embodied, & how will & willfulness are socially mediated.

Attentive to the wayward, the wandering, & the deviant, Ahmed considers how willfulness is taken up by those who have received its charge. Grounded in feminist, queer, & antiracist politics, her sui generis analysis of the willful subject, the figure who wills wrongly or wills too much, suggests that willfulness might be required to recover from the attempt at its elimination.
