Description
Revolution at Point Zero Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle by Silvia Federici explores the intersection of housework, social reproduction, and women's struggles over four decades. Through her research and theorizing, Federici reveals how the capitalist organization of work and alienated labor create a ground zero for revolutionary practice that shapes our daily realities. This revised edition includes three additional essays and a new preface by the author, expanding on topics such as international restructuring of reproductive work, globalization of care work and sex work, crisis of elder care, development of affective labor, and politics of the commons. A key aspect of Federici's work is her organizational involvement in the Wages for Housework movement, which sheds light on the power and politics behind these issues. By examining the relationships between housework, social reproduction, and women's struggles, Revolution at Point Zero offers a nuanced understanding of the ways in which capitalist relations are challenged and transformed.
