Produktbeschreibung

• This new edition is the first to be distributed and promoted widely in the US

• The new material contextualizes why Family, Welfare, and the State is more needed and relevant than ever.

• Through the fight for a host of pandemic relief packages, stimulus payments, and the campaign to raise the minimum wage people are organizing and winning against increasing abandonment and workforce vulnerability.

• Dalla Costa lays out how race, class, and especially the family were reconfigured and forced into the role of ensuring the reproduction of the capitalist workforce.

• She makes clear how the New Deal inscribed the heterosexual nuclear family as the "valued" and "approved" form of social organization.

• Family Welfare and the State makes clear that a pandemic new deal has to be feminist and recognize the unpaid and exploited labor at the heart of social reproduction.

• Dalla Costa's research and analysis played an important part in the development of her seminal work: The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community and her work with Silvia Federici in the Wages for Housework campaigns.

• The work of Silvia and Mariarosa has been receiving broader attention than it ever has before-including features in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and inclusion in the Smithsonian Museum.

• The authors-together and individually-will be available to media and panels on the direction of social movements.

Autorenporträt

MARIAROSA DALLA COSTA is a feminist author and activist, whose seminal book The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community, coauthored with Selma James, has been translated into six languages.

She is also, with Monica Chilese, the author of Our Mother Ocean: Enclosure, Commons, and the Global Fishermen's Movement.
