Angela Davis' "Women, Race, & Class" (Part 1/3)

[@Mai-zy4vw]

Thank you for covering this book, which I have forgotten many parts of but never the inspiration and strength that it gave me as a feminist. On the point you made about how Davis suggested that domestic labor is not "productive labor", I haven't checked the book (too lazy sorry) but in many feminist theories, a distinction is made between "productive labor" and "reproductive labor", the latter is used to name domestic labor. Reproductive labor is called as such because it allows productive labor to be reproduced again and again. My point is: Is it possible that she didn't mean to say that white bourgeois women didn't do productive labor but only reproductive labor? In the last chapter, Davis talks about the "Wages against/for housework" movement originated in Italy, inspired by theoretical works by, among others, Silvia Federici, who I'm pretty sure uses the terms productive and reproductive work/labor. I think Davis must be somewhat familiar if not very familiar with this terminology, that's why I think when she said domestic labor isn't productive, she didn't mean to say it's unproductive, but rather reproductive labor. But keep in mind that I haven't checked this in the book, it's just my hypothesis.

Heart of darkness and Orientalism as a term try too much not to be racist when it’s racist. So we follow ideas of Bhabha and Achebe. Or how we hear about how women are getting judged about dancing for example so we’re hyping that too much to the point that’s also a sexist act I’m also doing podcasts mostly about post colonialism ideas and more of autobiography philosophies!! In Greek though. I’m happy you follow this path too🫶🏼
