How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics: From Welfare by Laura Briggs

By Laura Briggs

this day all politics are reproductive politics, argues esteemed feminist critic Laura Briggs. From longer paintings hours to the election of Donald Trump, our present political obstacle is principally approximately reproduction. Households are the place we are facing our fiscal realities as social security nets get reduce and wages decline. Briggs brilliantly outlines how politicians’ racist money owed of reproduction—stories of Black “welfare queens” and Latina “breeding machines"—were the top wedge within the govt and company disinvestment in households. With lowering wages, emerging McJobs, and no assets for kin care, our families have grown ever extra precarious during the last 40 years in sharply race-and class-stratified methods. This problem, argues Briggs, fuels all others—from immigration to homosexual marriage, anti-feminism to the increase of the Tea Party.
