#11-#14 really resonated with me. My wife and I are often at odds the choices we should be making around home making, and you articulated many of the fundamental problems here.
Looking forward to reading part II! I'm curious if you plan to make some mention of universal basic income, which is the systemic social reform proposal I'm personally most optimistic about.
Great list. Recognizing the nuts and bolts of how humans reproduce and raise our young ( aka that we are placental mammals, a framing that informs my own writing on related topics) is critical to creating a world that respects pregnancy, child rearing and abortion rights too.
Have you read The Subsistence Perspective? Most of the book is vignettes on how different people around the world take a direct role in caring for themselves outside of the traditional market economy. It's not a "back to the land" polemic at all, but an urging for people to recognize how subsitence - the everyday work of staying alive and keeping people alive is what the world is built on and how it's supported in large part by women.
Dear Solana, Thank-you very much for this and I would say you have un-muddled yourself exceptionally well!
I am completing my doctoral dissertation. It is an auto ethnographic exploration of my childhood reading via critical pedagogy and postcolonial theory. My three theoretical frames are Otherness and hybridity; space, place, and landscape; and wonder. The reason I bore you with these details is that I would like to cite you if I may, especially your point #2 which addresses the value of story and other modes of communication in child development. Do I have your permission to do so?
Thanks in advance and I greatly look forward to next post.
