Constellations of Care: Anarcha-Feminism in Practice
Autor Cindy Barukh Milsteinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 apr 2024
What do we do when the state has abandoned us? From failing health systems to housing crises to cascading ecological collapse, it's increasingly evident that state-centered politics do not protect us from the violence of colonialism and capitalism, fascism, and patriarchy. In fact, they actively work to harm us.
Anarchist feminism—or anarcha-feminism—shows us how we tend to our social relations can build a new world inside the old one. We can care for each other when nothing else will, supplying communal well-being and liberatory horizons.
From communitarian kitchens to medic collectives, squatted social centers to queer theater troupes, Ljubljana to Mexico City, Constellations of Care powerfully underscores that we already have everything we need and desire in one another to carve out lives worth living.

Recenzii
'Cindy Barukh Milstein's anthology is care and mutual learning in action. The stories gathered here embrace complexity and challenge, but also hope for new ways forward. This work is nothing less than a transformation.'
Kes Otter Lieffe, author of the Margins trilogy
'Constellations of Care brings together all kinds of veterans of liberatory experiments in comradeship and kin-making, providing valuable insight into obstacles and defeats as well as tales of abundant love saplings, spores, and cuttings for everyone to propagate and grow.'
Sophie Lewis, author ofAbolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation
'Milstein has beautifully woven together an anthology that helps orient us toward care and co-making worlds that shine bright. Constellation's powerful, vulnerable contributions are like embers, lighting up pathways to keep us rooted in life while centering resistance and love.'
carla joy bergman, editor ofTrust Kids!: Stories on Youth Autonomy and Confronting Adult Supremacy
'With rare candor and rigorous insight, Cindy Barukh Milstein's anthologies offer the conversations we need to sustain the communal possibility of anarchist, feminist, and queer world-making in the ruins of everyday brutality.'
Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, author of Touching the Art
'An antidote to the commodification of care, Constellations brings together a multiplicity of voices on the subject, in an approach that makes visible the intentionality and diversity of care practices.'
Sundus Abdul Hadi, author of Take Care of Your Self: The Art and Cultures of Care and Liberation
'This anthology is like a flower under the rubble insisting on life. It’s a window into the beautiful, diverse, and practical world of anarcha-feminism, meaningfully woven from the collective, colorful, courageous threads of believers in a radically free life—now.'
Dilar Dirik, author of The Kurdish Women’s Movement: History, Theory, Practice
'A beautiful gift to communities of freedom-minded people, offering a glimpse into many worlds of possibility. Across the many authors and experiences represented, deeply resonating themes of nurturing love and fierce resilience intertwine in a tapestry of hope.'
Kai Cheng Thom, author of Falling Back in Love with Being Human
'Constellations is balm on a collective wound, with each essay offering validation and relief. The feminist world-building illuminated in this collection is heartening and hope giving, providing a mercurial map toward the radical relationality we need to sustain us.'
Raechel Anne Jolie, author of Rust Belt Femme
