These processes are founded on the destruction of people's most basic means of reproduction. Like at the dawn of capitalism, what we discover behind today's violence against women are processes of enclosure, land dispossession, and the remoulding of women's reproductive activities and subjectivity. As well as an investigation into the causes of this new violence, the book is also a feminist call to arms.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204695589042,"sku":"9781629635682","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781629635682_d173d2e3-1def-445b-8c12-9f6d9330affe.jpg?v=1786023688"},{"product_id":"9781629635699","title":"Re-enchanting The World","description":"An edited collection Silvia Federici's work, spanning over twenty years, in which she provides a detailed history and critique of the politics of the commons from a feminist perspective. In her clear and combative voice, Federici provides readers with an analysis of some of the key issues and debates in contemporary thinking on this subject. Drawing on rich historical research, she maps the connections between the previous forms of enclosure that occurred with the birth of capitalism and the destruction of the commons and the 'new enclosures' at the heart of the present phase of global capitalist accumulation.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405960806578,"sku":"9781629635699","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781629635699.jpg?v=1786023689"},{"product_id":"9780745350332","title":"Feminism for the World","description":"In the years since #MeToo, misogyny, sexism and gender based violence have flooded the news and our social media timelines. Anti-privilege politics and intersectionality have entered the mainstream—systematically trolled on one end of the spectrum; embraced, to questionable ends, on the other. But what has this increased visibility entailed, other than the marketisation of the feminist struggle?Feminism for the World argues that we have been witnessing an erasure of feminism as a long-term tradition, with its many conflicting histories and geographies of struggle elided and forgotten.   In this ground-breaking collection, eight leading international figures of contemporary feminism highlight feminist struggles and traditions from the Global South, presenting feminism as a project that is impossible without international solidarity from the West. In doing so they revive an authentic internationalism and propose paths for present and future generations.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296185594229,"sku":"9780745350332","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780745350332_04d84fa0-0208-4065-a877-6419973fa761.jpg?v=1786015281"},{"product_id":"9781629637068","title":"Beyond The Periphery Of The Skin","description":"More than ever, the 'body' is today at the centre of radical and institutional politics. Feminist, antiracist, trans and ecological movementsall look at the body as a ground of confrontation with the state and a vehicle for transformative social practices. Concurrently, the body has become a signifier for the reproduction crisis the neoliberal turn in capitalist development has generated and for the international surge in institutional repression and public violence. Here, Silvia Federici examines these complex processes, placing them in the context of the history of the capitalist transformation of the body into a work-machine.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302029963637,"sku":"9781629637068","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781629637068_8e1712d8-918b-4e66-b5c6-706a5daab81a.jpg?v=1786023696"},{"product_id":"9781629637976","title":"Revolution At Point Zero (2nd.

In the darkest months of the COVID pandemic, writer and feminist theorist Silvia Federici and artist Begonia Santa-Cecilia began a private exchange across distance and isolation. Federici sent poems. Santa-Cecilia replied with watercolours. What started as an intimate correspondence became a lifeline, an act of shared breathing amid fear, surveillance, grief, and mass death. Words and colours offered a way to stay alive to one another when the world felt brutally narrowed. Only later did the two friends recognise what they had made together. A singular book born of crisis and care. Part dialogue, part visual poem, it is a testament to creation as a form of resistance and mutual aid, an affirmation of everything that cannot be controlled. Each page vibrates with the insistence that art, friendship, and collective imagination open cracks in seemingly closed realities, reminding us that this world is not the only possible one. Juju: Poems and Watercolors offers a rare and revelatory gift. For the first time, readers encounter the poetry that Federici, one of the most influential radical thinkers of our time, has written throughout her life but never published.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57513619030389,"sku":"9798887442105","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9798887442105.jpg?v=1787220440"},{"product_id":"the-crisis-of-social-reproduction","title":"The Crisis of Social Reproduction","description":null,"brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536585171317,"sku":"9781771136655","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781771136655.jpg?v=1792424558"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-silvia-federici.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
