The Captive Maternal: Anti-Fascist Renegades, Runaways and Rebels (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780745349923)

This book represents the first comprehensive exploration of "the Captive Maternal," synthesizing over a decade of thought-provoking content and incisive analyses.

Expanding on her influential 2016 essay "The Womb of Western Theory," Professor Joy James delivers a revolutionary contribution to Black feminist/masculinist studies, radicalism, political philosophy, and the fabric of US national and international politics.

The book delves into the intricate lives of those "feminized" into caretaking and consumption. It uncovers the histories, struggles, and resolute strengths of Captive Maternals--self-identified females, males, trans individuals, or those who transcend gender--a group integral to the tapestry of resistance against oppression.
