Beyond The Periphery Of The Skin

Federici's attempt to draw together the work of feminists and activists from different parts of the world and place them in historical context is brave, thought-provoking, and timely. Federici's writing is lucid and her fury palpable. --Red Pepper Real transformations occur when the social relations that make up everyday life change, when there is a revolution within and across the stratifications of the social body....
