Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction.

Title : Disposable Domestics Original title : Immigrant Women Workers in the Global Economy Material Type: printed text Authors: Grace Chang, Author ; Mimi Abramovitz, Author of afterword, postface, colophon, etc. Publisher: Boston [USA] : South End Press Publication Date: 2000 ISBN (or other code): RepCha2000 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Immigrant Labour
Reproductive LabourKeywords: Reproductive Labour, Immigrant Labour, Migrant Justice Abstract: "Illegal. Unamerican. Disposable. In a nation with an unprecedented history of immigration, the prevailing image of those who cross our borders in search of equal opportunity—in particular women of color of childbearing age—is that of a drain on society. Grace Chang's vital account of immigrant women's experiences proves just the opposite: that the women who perform our least desirable jobs—as nannies, domestic workers, janitors, nursing aides, and homecare workers—are the most crucial to our economy and society. Yet, Chang also shows, as frequently undocumented and therefore disenfranchised, they are among the most vulnerable and exploited."

Title : MAY REVUE Material Type: printed text Authors: Fulvia Carnevale, Author Edition statement: 16 Publication Date: 10/2016 ISBN (or other code): REPCAR2016 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Feminism
Reproductive LabourKeywords: Reproductive Labour, Aesthetics, Feminism, Refusal, Italy, France Abstract: "This issue, realized with Claire Fontaine, positions itself in the many continuities of a previous one—*May* no. 4, published in October 2010, that presented a selection of foundational resources from the Italian feminist movements of the 1970s and 1980s (with texts by the Milan Women's Bookstore, Carla Lonzi, Lea Melandri, Antonella Nappi, etc.) At the time, Fulvia Carnevale, an assistant of Claire Fontaine, and the guest editor-in-chief, edited the group of texts and signed the introduction. Given a lack of time and means, the texts were only published in English. For this issue, we have decided to put the French translations online a few weeks after publication. The texts published here are for the most part interventions from two London symposiums that took place in 2015 and 2016, whose specific issues Claire Fontaine's introductory text will illuminate. A number of these essays take direct inspiration from the textual sources introduced in *May 4.* With this second chapter, the revue seeks to trace an editorial line more emphatically marked by feminist questions stemming from this Italian history and to re-interrogate complex concepts such as self-abolition, self-consciousness and separatism—or, to cite Marina Vishmidt, to contribute towards a 'way of thinking the affirmative and negative moments of any radical emancipatory movement.'"—from the preface MAY REVUE [printed text] / Fulvia Carnevale, Author . - 16 . - 10/2016.
