Abstract

"Anarchafeminism" by Chiara Bottici explores the possibility of order without hierarchy and the potential for a "thick" collectivity that maintains individual distinctiveness. The book argues that anarchafeminism, rooted in opposition to all hierarchies, can bring together various perspectives such as Marxism, feminism, queer theory, and ecology more effectively than intersectionality. It also proposes a theory of trans-individualism, drawing on the works of Baruch Spinoza, to challenge methodological individualism in feminist theorizing. Additionally, the book advocates for a decolonial and de-imperial anarchafeminism that examines the relationships between gender oppression, capitalism, production, reproduction, and ecology.
