«Calibán y la bruja» is the historical essay by Silvia Federici, published by Traficantes de Sueños in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay, Silvia Federici examines how the witch hunt of early modern Europe served primitive accumulation: after the defeat of peasant movements and the enclosure of common lands, the persecution of women expropriated their bodies and knowledge and imposed a new sexual division of labour.
Published in 2010. Number 9 of the Historia series by Traficantes de Sueños. Translated by Leopoldo Sebastián Touza.
Reference work for those approaching social history, feminist thought and the critique of capitalism.
