Venezuela
"Each day the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean will be increasiongly convinced that there is no other road but revolution. For us there is no other road but revolution." (Hugo Chavez)A revolutionary process is unfolding in Venezuela, part of a continental rebellion unparalleled since the 1960s and '70s. Bourgeois power is being challenged by the emergence of a counter-power of the working classes. The reforms of the Chavez government have re-ignited the class struggle after years of defeat and decay of the left. This is not a simple replay of the Salvador Allende government in Chile 30 years ago. The Venezuelan army is deeply divided and within it there is a revolutionary current o...

In Solidarity with the Earth
Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land. While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'. The first three sections of the book focus on the social and ecological challenges facing minoritized women and their communities that are related to mining, pollutants and biodiversity loss, and toxicity. The final section of the book focuses on the ...
What is Work?
Every society throughout history has defined what counts as work and what doesn’t. And more often than not, those lines of demarcation are inextricable from considerations of gender. What Is Work? offers a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding labor within the highly gendered realm of household economies. Drawing from scholarship on gender history, economic sociology, family history, civil law, and feminist economics, these essays explore the changing and often contested boundaries between what was and is considered work in different Euro-American contexts over several centuries, with an eye to the ambiguities and biases that have shaped mainstream conceptions of work across all social sectors.

Towards a Global History of Domestic and Caregiving Workers
Domestic and caregiving work has been at the core of human existence throughout history. Poorly paid or even unpaid, this work has been assigned to women in most societes and occasionally to men often as enslaved, indentures, "adopted" workers. While some use domestic service as training for their own future independent households, others are confined to it for life and try to avoid damage to their identities (Part One). Employment conditions are even worse in colonizer-colonized dichotomies, in which the subalternized have to run the households of administrators who believe they are running an empire (Part Two). Societies and states set the discriminatory rules, those employed develop strat...

Carlo Urbani
Il 29 marzo 2003, all'ospedale di Bangkok, moriva di Sars Carlo Urbani, il medico italiano che per primo aveva isolato il Coronavirus responsabile di quella forma atipica ed estremamente pericolosa di polmonite. Un anno dopo Lucia Bellaspiga raccontò, in un libro dal sapore del reportage giornalistico, le opere e i giorni dell'uomo, del medico, del credente: l'impegno e il sorriso, i successi e le prove, i sogni e le delusioni. A venti anni dalla morte, e dopo che una pandemia causata da un altro Coronavirus ha colpito anche il nostro mondo occidentale, questa nuova edizione – ampliata con materiali inediti – consente di cogliere più chiaramente il dono fatto a tutti noi da Carlo Urban...
