Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the struggle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization. 393224 1 10 2004 Caliban and the Witch: Women, The Body, and Primitive Accumulation total:57|5:25|4:23|3:6|2:3|1:0| 57 241 129 15 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 21:16:28 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 09:31:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 08:13:22 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 16:07:07 -0800 2009 Alex Knight
