Reviews

'No one has taught us more that communism is with us than George Caffentzis and Silvia Federici... the greatest living theorists of commoning' -- Stefano Harney, co-author of 'The Undercommons' 'We need comrades with a clear sight and an open, affective heart. Many of us have found in George Caffentzis and Silvia Federici that company... And here they are, to celebrate them, with an exceptional cohort of intellectuals/activists, with compas, who are saying today what needs to be said to continue the struggle, to resist the horror and to create a new world' -- Gustavo Esteva, activist, 'deprofessionalised intellectual' and founder of Universidad de la Tierra in Oaxaca, Mexico 'The path breaking work of Caffentzis and Federici is continually generative for contemporary anticapitalist thinkers and activists because it is at once critical and visionary. This fine collection of essays pays homage to their writing not through mere praise, but by putting their ideas to work toward the ongoing struggle for new understandings and better worlds' -- Kathi Weeks, author of 'The Problem with Work: Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics, and Postwork Imaginaries' 'In this labour of love, radical theory joins passionate praxis to honour the social thought and political vision of Silva Federici and George Caffentzis, whose work together and apart offers hope that another world can be made' -- Eileen Boris, co-author of 'Caring for America'
