Caliban and the Witch

[Dave Monroe]

Federici, Silvia.  Caliban and the Witch.
   New York: Autonomedia, 2004.

Caliban and the Witch is a history of the body in the
transition to capitalism. 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 battle 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. 288pp, $15.95
