This work goes on almost unnoticed everywhere, in every culture. It is not prioritised economically, politically, or socially, and women are discriminated against and impoverished for doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis much-anticipated follow-up to her first anthology, \u003cem\u003eSex, Race, and Class\u003c\/em\u003e, compiles several decades of James's work with a focus on more recent writings, including a groundbreaking analysis of two of C. L. R. James's masterpieces, \u003cem\u003eThe Black Jacobins\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBeyond a Boundary\u003c\/em\u003e, and an account of her formative partnership with him. Her experience in the movement for Caribbean federation and independence is reflected in her introduction to Ujamaa, the socialism that Tanzanian villagers built, and in her work with Guyana, Haiti, and Venezuela.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteeped in the tradition of Marx urging the need for a \"practical movement,\" James recounts the unusual history of how autonomous organisations formed within the International Wages for Housework Campaign and reshaped it. Women of colour, queer women, sex workers, and women with disabilities—all independent but mutually accountable (including to the men's network with whom they work) as they confront sexism, racism, deportation, rape, and other violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJames makes the powerful argument that the struggle for climate justice can draw on all the movements people have formed to refuse exploitation and to end the capitalist hierarchy that is destroying the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is one continuum between the care and protection of people and of the planet. The care income she campaigns for prioritises both.
