![]() The three authors responsible for breathtaking quotes like these are Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya and Nancy Fraser, who had each written separate works of literature about the relationship between capitalism and the need for feminism. The book describes it perfectly, saying “This is a remarkable vision of equal opportunity domination: one that asks ordinary people, in the name of feminism, to be grateful that it is a woman, not a man, who busts their union, orders a drone to kill their parent, or lock their child in a cage at the border.” It advocates for middle-class white women to be able to take up powerful positions, where they’re able to oppress other women. Corporate feminism is the kind that retains the status quo. The book starts off by pointing out that corporate, neo-liberal feminism is not the answer to the problems feminists consistently try to dismantle. ![]() This also includes LGBTQ+ movements and labor unions. Rejecting both corporate feminism and liberal feminism, “Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto” is a pocket-sized, 85-page book that argues for an anti-capitalist feminism to work hand-in-hand with other anti-capitalist movements that are environmentalist, anti-racist and anti-imperialist. ![]()

With his best friend, Chelsea, by his side, Rahul is ready to crush this challenge. And he won’t be worried about staring too long at his classmate Justin Emery.

That Neruda expected his private person to be judged by his public morals, is clear enough. Neruda’s career was not confined to literary work and personal relationships instead, it crossed and re-crossed the terrain of politics and ideology, which he saw as a natural extension of his artistic vocation. Few autobiographies nowadays can be said to be “honest,” but this does not mean that they cannot be revealing-even devastatingly so-a point that is brought home in an especially poignant way by the posthumous memoirs of Pablo Neruda, the Chilean poet and Nobel laureate. Ours is an age sorely pressed for alibis, and neither publishers nor public seem to tire of reading the “extenuating circumstances” which purportedly explain everything from personal indiscretions (Kay Summersby Morgan) to genocide (Albert Speer). $11.95.Īn autobiography, as Cardinal Newman once confessed, is an exercise in self-justification. ![]() ![]() ![]() Voices from Colonial America visits Georgia: 1521-1776 by Robin Doak and New York: 1609-1776 by Michael Burgan ($21.95 each, 10-14). ![]() Launching National Graphic World History Biographies are Marie Curie: The First Great Woman Scientist by Philip Steele and Leonardo da Vinci: The Genius Who Defined the Renaissance by John Phillips ($17.95 each, 8-12).
