Emily Callaci Knihy

Focusing on the Wages for Housework movement, the book explores the struggle for recognition and compensation for women's unpaid labor in domestic settings. Historian Emily Callaci delves into the lives of pivotal figures like Selma James and Silvia Federici, revealing how their ideas evolved in the context of 1970s activism. The narrative highlights the intersection of feminism and anti-imperialism, examining how these women envisioned alternative futures that prioritize care and maintenance over mere productivity. Their enduring questions challenge societal norms and resonate with contemporary discussions on labor and value.

Emily Callaci maps a new terrain of political and cultural production in mid- twentieth-century Tanzanian cities. While the postcolonial Tanzanian ruling party adopted a policy of rural socialism-Ujamaa-an influx of youth migrants to the city of Dar es Salaam generated innovative forms of urbanism through the production and circulation of street archives.
