The Politics of Care: From COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter

This timely, pointed collection of essays from the political literary magazine Boston Review tackles all of today's most pressing issue: the coronavirus pandemic, racial justice, and police brutality. At the heart of them all is a massive cultural reckoning with the brutality of neoliberal ideology and political practices steeped in structural racism, failing civic society, and a rapidly increasing wealth gap. The essayists urge a shift from the politics of death to a politics of care, centering our basic needs, communities, and the natural world. To this end they call on activist traditions from around the world to point the way to a more hopeful future in which we can take care of ourselves and each other instead of being trapped in conflict.
