Marxism and Feminism

Editat de Shahrzad Mojab
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2015
Global events, from economic crisis to social unrest and militarization, disproportionately affect women. Yet around the world it is also women who are leading the struggle against oppression and exploitation. In light of renewed interest in Marxist theory among many women activists and academics, Marxism and Feminism presents a contemporary and accessible Marxist-feminist analysis on a host of issues. It reassesses previous debates and seeks to answer pressing questions of how we should understand the relationship between patriarchy and capitalism, and how we can envision a feminist project which emancipates both women and society. With contributions from both renowned scholars and new voices, Marxism and Feminism is set to become the foundational text for modern Marxist-feminist thought.

Recenzii

Marxism and Feminismis a serious, nuanced collection that covers a great deal of ground in a clear and concise way. The essays here represent a profoundly warm, human way of thinking through some of the toughest political problems of our age. It will be of great use to anyone thinking seriously about the relationship between Marx and feminism, not to mention gender, race, class, intersectionality, patriarchy, work, and many other key topics today.”

“The relationship between Marxists and feminists has always been problematic. But in these times of an ongoing crises of capitalism, when the whole world is looking for alternatives to the present destructive world system, Shahrzad Mojab'sMarxism and Feminismis especially necessary today. I hope that many women and men read it.”

“Marxism and feminism are back! This book marks a refreshing return to basics after years spent in the wilderness of identity politics and the 'cultural turn.' Offering a rich synthesis of the key concepts in both schools of thought, the book provides a valuable resource for rethinking Marxism, feminism, a renewed project for human emancipation and, yes . . . revolution.”

Marxism and Feminismis an outstanding contribution to the shared project of scholar-activists across diverse disciplines and movements. The collection is both the result of, and a significant contribution to, a (re)emerging conversation—one that attends to, as Shahrzad Mojab succinctly notes, 'two major emancipatory projects.' The keywords approach is inspired, providing breadth and depth in a single, accessible, and highly engaged volume.”

“Reading this book made me aware of how much such a book is needed to awaken a dialogue between Marxism and feminism. I didn't agree with all that I read, but that's exactly what a book with this framework should do to awaken us.”

“An important addition to the body of radical analysis that left feminists can use to educate ourselves about old and new theoretical, political and methodological debates on the left. It also is a signal that such debates are receiving new energy in the 21st century by new generations of left feminist intellectuals and activists dissatisfied with the academic compromises that institutionalized feminism has made, and the failure to incorporate feminist insights into Marxist-inspired theory and politics.”

“Reading this book, I was gripped by a feeling that it will mark a politically-necessary moment in the history of Women’s and Gender Studies as well as educational theories encompassing class, race, disability, sexuality and all axes of identity formation. . . . This book is a pedagogy—a form of resistance.”

“Reviving the revolutionary promise of feminist theory is vitally important if young people, a new generation of activists and scholars, are to imagine more than locally reforming their own communities—if they are to image their own revolutionary tide. . . . The concepts discussed inMarxism and Feminismdo not try to bridge or reunite divergent theories of exploitation or oppression. Rather the authors in this collection use the tensions between feminism and Marxism to generate new terrains of investigation and struggle. . . . While the chapters are varied and complex, the book is held together by a commitment to dialectical inquiry and revolutionary feminist praxis.”
