Marxism and Feminism by Shahrzad Mojab (English) Paperback Book

Description: Marxism and Feminism by Shahrzad Mojab Global events, from economic crisis to social unrest and militarization, disproportionately affect women. Yet around the world it is also women who are leading the struggle against oppression and exploitation. In light of renewed interest in Marxist theory among many women activists and academics, Marxism and Feminism presents a contemporary and accessible Marxist-feminist analysis on a host of issues. It reassesses previous debates and seeks to answer pressing questions of how we should understand the relationship between patriarchy and capitalism, and how we can envision a feminist project which emancipates both women and society. With contributions from both renowned scholars and new voices, Marxism and Feminism is set to become the foundational text for modern Marxist-feminist thought.

It will be of great use to anyone thinking seriously about the relationship between Marx and feminism, not to mention gender, race, class, intersectionality, patriarchy, work and many other key topics today. Nina Power, author of One Dimensional Woman The relationship between Marxists and Feminists has always been problematic. But in these times of an ongoing crises of capitalism, when the whole world is looking for alternatives to the present destructive World System, Shahrzad Mojabs Marxism and Feminism is especially necessary today. I hope that many women and men read it. Maria Mies, author of Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale Marxism and feminism are back! This book marks a refreshing return to basics after years spent in the wilderness of identity politics and the cultural turn. Offering a rich synthesis of the key concepts in both schools of thought, the book provides a valuable resource for rethinking Marxism, feminism, a renewed project for human emancipation and, yes... revolution. Radha DSouza, University of Westminster Marxism and Feminism is an outstanding contribution to the shared project of scholar-activists across diverse disciplines and movements. The collection is both the result of, and a significant contribution to, a (re)emerging conversation - one that attends to, as Shahrzad Mojab succinctly notes, "two major emancipatory projects." The keywords approach is inspired, providing breadth and depth in a single, accessible, and highly engaged volume. Abigail B. Bakan, University of Toronto Reading this book made me aware of how much such a book is needed to awaken a dialogue between Marxism and feminism. I didnt agree with all that I read, but thats exactly what a book with this framework should do to awaken us.
