Books like Witches, sluts, feminists by Kristen J. Sollée

A tale of witches, neurosurgeons, and secrets in New Orleans, exploring the power of the past and the present.

An authoritative account of the 1692 Salem witch trials, detailing how fear and accusation turned a Massachusetts community into a scene of hysteria and execution.

Written between 1974 and 2016, Revolution at Point Zero collects four decades of research and theorizing on the nature of housework, social reproduction, and women’s struggles on this terrain—to escape it, to better its conditions, to reconstruct it in ways that provide an alternative to capitalist relations. Indeed, as Federici reveals, behind the capitalist organization of work and the contradictions inherent in “alienated labor” is an explosive ground zero for revolutionary practice upon which are decided the daily realities of our collective reproduction. Beginning with Federici’s organizational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the essays collected here unravel the power and politics of wide but related issues including the international restructuring of reproductive work and its effects on the sexual division of labor, the globalization of care work and sex work, the crisis of elder care, the development of affective labor, and the politics of the commons.

Silvia Federici analyses modern violent oppression of women as a continuation of historic witch hunts, arguing it is a structural feature of capitalist expansion that dismantles reproductive rights and community stability.
