Beskrivning

'A most nourishing and encouraging book' - McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker ManifestoIn many places around the world, the freedom to simply care for one another is being attack by the powerful, and acts of solidarity are being made illegal. In a moment of struggle defined by the rollback of the social safety net, the criminalization of migration, and the right-wing clampdown on bodily autonomy, radical networks of care are fighting back.From volunteer rescue boats in the Mediterranean to underground labs preparing gender-affirming hormones, people are reclaiming the means to care for one another in defiance of a system that devalues and exploits the labor of care.Against atomized despair, Pirate Care shows that fighting back isn't only about legal and legislative changes but also about organizing, direct action, and disobedient care.

Recensioner i media

'Putting the words pirate and care together already produces a spark of excitement, asking us to imagine how we are going to make the world together. A world in which what are often separate practices, and languages about practices, can come together. Where abolition, hacking, the commons, queerness and repair are connected. Where as good feminists we concern ourselves with the work and play that sustains us, in and against the empires of extraction. A most nourishing and encouraging little book'
