In her new article “From My Body to Yours, and Gaza to the World” for The Edge, Zillah Eisenstein offers a poignant and passionate meditation on death, killing, and possibility:
Gaza and genocidal death, COVID the world over. Hatreds of all sorts. Misogyny catalyzing right-wing rule. All of it. They each exist together, and distinctly. These crises silence each other, and yet deepen the vulnerability of every human. And, as an anti-racist socialist feminist I know to always think about our bodies and what is happening to them. The body is always a site of political struggle — migrations, abortions, the fear of death.
