Beschreibung

<p><b>'A groundbreaking work </b>. . . <b>Federici has become a crucial figure</b> <b>for . . .</b> <b>a new generation of feminists'</b> Rachel Kushner, author of <i>The Mars Room<br><br></i>A cult classic since its publication in the early years of this century, <i>Caliban and the Witch</i> is Silvia Federici's history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages through the European witch-hunts, the rise of scientific rationalism and the colonisation of the Americas, it gives a panoramic account of the often horrific violence with which the unruly human material of pre-capitalist societies was transformed into a set of predictable and controllable mechanisms. It Is a study of indigenous traditions crushed, of the enclosure of women's reproductive powers within the nuclear family, and of how our modern world was forged in blood.<br><br>'Rewarding . . . allows us to better understand the intimate relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation state and the transition from feudalism to capitalism' <i>Guardian</i></p>
