Book Synopsis

A Marxist-feminist approach examining disaster relief in the US



Trade Review

'Tells a fascinating and insightful tale of how the state, increasingly unable and unwilling to care for its citizens, came to depend on community survival projects in the face of disaster'

-- Joshua Clover, author of Riot. Strike. Riot. (Verso, 2016)

'A searching enquiry, keyed to our age of pandemics and climate catastrophe, and an exemplary application of insights from Marxist Social Reproduction Theory'

-- Gareth Dale, author of Reconstructing Karl Polanyi (Pluto, 2016)
