Feminicide and Global Accumulation: Frontline Struggles to Resist the Violence of Patriarchy and Capitalism

• There is widespread interest in intersectional approaches and voices of BIPOC on issues of violence in society.

• The contributors in this book are not just theorizing about gender-based violence but are also on the frontlines of organizing against it.

• Silvia Federici is a celebrated feminist, Marxist theorist and author of Caliban and the Witch, Revolution at Point Zero, Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women among others.

• Black and Indigenous contributors in this book from across the world in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

• Passionately argues for the need to identify the emergency of violence against women as femicide, and locates an urgent analysis and the dynamic political responses in the women themselves.

• Brings a much-needed perspective from the Global South on questions of climate change, and links it centrally to the pervasive issues of violence facing women and gender non-conforming people.

• Brings together an understanding of race, class, gender, and sexuality in an analysis of capitalism through concrete and direct experiences.

• Brings much needed attention to the everyday forms of violence opposed by the international women’s movement which made headlines with the hashtag #NiUnaMenos and #metoo.

• This book is geared toward several audiences. Feminists, women’s groups, marxists, eco-socialist or other eco-activists, academics in social and ecological sciences, those with interest in issues of gender, development, and social movements in Latin America and the Global South; those with an interest in the global economy; advanced undergraduates.

• Taps into a growing desire to read and learn from the direct experience of BIPOC people and to understand the connections of struggles across borders.

• The conference that brought these authors together is already being cited in the literature.

• With editors and translators in the US we will have people readily available to speak on the book and with the growing use of remote video authors across the globe will also be able to support this collection.
