In this collection of work spanning more than 20 years, Silvia Federici provides a detailed history and critique of the politics of the commons from a feminist perspective, with an analysis of some of the key issues in contemporary thinking on this subject. Drawing on historical research, she maps the connections between the previous forms of enclosure that occurred with the birth of capitalism and the destruction of the commons and 'new enclosures' at the heart of the present phase of global capitalist accumulation. Considering the commons from a feminist perspective, Federici argues that women and reproductive work are crucial to both our economic survival and the construction of a world free from capitalist hierarchies.The writer is clear that the commons should not be understood as happy islands in a sea of exploitative relations, but rather as autonomous spaces from which to challenge the existing organization of life and labor.
