In 2012, we all pay at least lip service to the
entanglements of class, gender, and race when not also struggling to
incorporate other threads into our explanatory frameworks and actions. So when
you come across clarity of vision that precisely explains those relations, one
can only marvel that it was written 37 years ago and try not to be too dismayed
that it isn’t more widely known. Hopefully this new collection of work by
Silvia Federici will change that.
