Summary:
Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of the trailblazing restaurant Mother Courage of New York City, "Ingredients for revolution" is the first history of the more than 230 feminist and lesbian-feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses that existed in the United States from 1972 to the present. As key sites of cultural and political significance, this volume shows the essential role these institutions served for multiple social justice movements including women’s liberation, LGBTQ equality, and food justice, as well as for training women workers and entrepreneurs. This systematic study outlines the crucial steps it took to establish these businesses during eras when sexism was so institutionalized it was difficult for unmarried women to obtain a bank loan, while also showing the continuities and influences of past businesses on contemporary places. Through an examination of important establishments across America, Alex Ketchum first examines the foundational principles behind these businesses, noting key differences between cooperative, for-profit, and non-profit models. She then looks to issues of financing, labour, pay, food sourcing, and cultural programming to understand how these organizations reconciled feminist beliefs with capitalism and how they strove for more equitable and sustainable business practices. Brimming with illuminating archival research, interviews with influential restaurateurs, and illustrated with photographs, menus, posters, and calendars, "Ingredients for revolution" is a fundamental work of women’s history, food history, and cultural history.

Summary:
Quoi de plus iconoclaste qu’un herbier composé entre quatre murs, sans l’étendue de la nature? Comme une contradiction dans les termes. « L’herbier de prison » de Rosa Luxemburg est une archive sans équivalent. Troublante et attachante, sa fragilité et son histoire en font un témoignage de résistance et d’évasion, une fabrique de formes et de joie, un document sur le sentiment politique de la nature, fondement de toute écologie. Composé de sept cahiers datés d’avril 1915 à octobre 1918, l’herbier a pu être réalisé par la révolutionnaire emprisonnée grâce à l’amitié sans faille de quelques femmes, ses amies intimes dont la féministe Clara Zetkin. Au-delà des quelques fleurs et mauvaises herbes de la cour de la prison que Rosa glane lorsqu’elle sort sous surveillance, ce sont ses proches qui lui envoyèrent par lettres des spécimens séchés ou des bouquets fleurs fraîches qu’elle-même pressait. Aux planches de l’herbier répondent ainsi tout une correspondance où il est question de botanique, de nature, de romantisme allemand, d’amour de toutes créatures, et cela, « en dépit de l’humanité ». Rosa Luxemburg ne cesse d’encourager ses proches à garder leur joie de vivre et leur gaieté alors que les nuages qu’elle entraperçoit par une fenêtre à barreaux se chargent des couleurs de la guerre et de l’acier.

(available in store)
Summary:
This publication invites the reader to learn about and from Maternal Fantasies ´ feminist research and collective artistic practice on motherhood(s), care work and representation in the arts. Composed of seven interdisciplinary artists / mothers and ten children, Maternal Fantasies takes the social invisibility of the maternal experience as a point of departure to produce films, images, and performances of fantastical visibility. Through personal writing exercises and collective performance scores, they align themselves with ancestral figures of feminist discourses and artmaking, in order to establish new vocabularies and narratives around the maternal for future generations. As both a handbook and an archive of feminist artmaking, this publication (re-)assembles maternal experiences, reflective essays, autobiographical writing, instructional scores, selected artworks, and a manifesto for a caring economy.
