Livestream Link for tonight’s launch of Feminicide and Global Accumulation with Silvia Federici, Susana Draper, Liz Mason-Deese, and Otras Negras ... y ¡Feminizes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YEAw0YDxW0
Join Silvia Federici, Susana Draper, Liz Mason-Deese and Otra Negras...y ¡Feministas! to launch & discuss the new book Feminicide and Global Accumulation
Feminicide and Global Accumulation (Common Notions) brings us to the frontlines of an international movement of Black, Indigenous, popular, and mestiza women’s organizations fighting against violence—interpersonal, state sanctioned, and economic—that is both endemic to the global economy and the contemporary devalued status of racialized women, trans, and gender non-conforming communties in the Global South.
"Theorizing feminicide as the key epistemic violence at the heart of patriarchal, colonial, and capitalist relations of rule, this powerful text documents Black, Brown, and Indigenous trans and cis women’s ongoing resistance and insurgent dreams of bodily integrity and freedom. Weaving together memories, poetry, stories, analysis, art, and activist praxis, Feminicide and Global Accumulation charts a new and irresistible future for anticapitalist feminist struggle. A book that belongs on the bookshelves of all progressive, left, decolonial scholar-activists.”—Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity
“Feminicide and Global Accumulation tells stories of women reclaiming their histories, their dreams, their lives, and their bodies. It shows how violence against the Earth and violence against women are interconnected, and how feminicide and ecocide are intrinsic to the structures of global accumulation. Transforming the pain of feminicide into a fight for justice, women are showing how we can create new economies from the ground up, putting people and planet at the center to create buen vivir, the good life for all.”—Vandana Shiva, author of Staying Alive: Women, Ecology and Development and Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability, and Peace
Join Silvia Federici, Susana Draper, Liz Mason-Deese, and Otra Negras...y ¡Feministas! as they discuss how these struggles against racism, capitalism, and patriarchy show how crucially linked the land, water, and resource extraction projects crisscrossing the planet are to devaluing labor and nature and how central Black and Indigenous women and trans leadership is to resisting them.
Feminicide and Global Accumulation reflects, in a collective fabric, the communitarian and enraged struggles of women, trans, and gender non-conforming communities who commit themselves to the transformation of their communities by directly challenging the murder and assassination of women and violence in all its forms.
The new edition of Family, Welfare, and the State by Mariarosa Dalla Costa will also be celebrated.
