FRASER NANCY

Cannibal Capitalism
A trenchant look at contemporary capitalism's insatiable appetite - and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world. Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devasta...

ΚΡΙΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΦΡΟΝΤΙΔΑΣ;
Με τα πρώιμα έργα της, που έγραψε στο πρώτο μισό της δεκαετίας του 1990, η Φρέιζερ ανέπτυξε μία κριτική σοσιαλιστική φεμινιστική θεωρία και συμμετείχε στις έντονες συζητήσεις εκείνης της εποχής για το φεμινισμό και το μετά μοντερνισμό, εγείροντας θέματα τόσο επιστημολογίας όσο και πολιτικής θεωρίας, αμφισβητώντας τόσο τους μεταμοντέρνους θεωρητικούς όσο και τους αντιπάλους τους.

(P/B) FEMINISM FOR THE 99%
Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, inadequate healthcare, border policing, climate change - these are not what you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But aren't they the biggest issues for the vast majority of women around the globe? Taking as its inspiration the new wave of feminist militancy that has erupted globally, this manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: feminism shouldn't start - or stop - with the drive to have women represented at the top of their professions. It must focus on those at the bottom, and fight for the...

(P/B) FORTUNES OF FEMINISM
Second Wave feminism emerged as a struggle for women's liberation and took its place alongside other radical movements. But feminism's subsequent immersion in identity politics coincided with a decline in its utopian energies and the rise of neoliberalism. Now, foreseeing a revival in the movement, Fraser argues for a reinvigorated feminist radicalism able to address the global economic crisis. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) THE OLD IS DYING AND THE NEW CANNOT BE BORN
Neoliberalism is fracturing, but what will emerge in its wake? The global political, ecological, economic, and social breakdown-symbolized by Trump's election-has destroyed faith that neoliberal capitalism is beneficial to the majority. Nancy Fraser explores how this faith was built through the late twentieth century by balancing two central tenets: recognition (who deserves rights) and distribution (who deserves income). When these begin to fray, new forms of outsider populist politics emerge on the left and the right. These, Fraser argue...
