Les différents types de famille au sein des modes de production: Traduit de l'anglais par Luc Benoit
Marxists expand the mode of production concept to make room for family forms, situating them in the daily and generational production of labour power. Family forms are active elements in the constitution and development of modes of production, above all because they are central to the production of people and their capacities for work, compliance and resistance. Our focus is on the turnover phase of the cycle when offspring reach adulthood, marry…
The Perverse Realities of “Paper” in a Money-Driven Economy
Just think. If Jim Stanford's Paper Boom, weighing in at a hefty 473 pages, sells out and gets reprinted a few times it might spark a mini-boom in the depressed stocks of papermakers! I hope it does, sell out that is. The book deserves a wide audience on the Left far beyond academia. I don't embrace his entire analysis of the speculative bull market in stocks and bonds that has transformed the North American economy in the eighties and nineties t…
Down to Earth People: Beyond Class Reductionism and Postmodernism
"Published Under the Garamond Imprint From the Introduction: "This book proposes a substantial revision of the orthodox Marxist approach to understanding group consciousness and action. The tendency to anchor all forms of collective struggle and consciousness in prevailing relations of production is now conceded by both scholars and political activists to be inadequate. The social movements of oppressed peoples that have swept the globe during th…
Weathering the Storm: Working-Class Families from the Industrial Revolution to the Fertility Decline
The industrial revolution, which transformed 19th-century labour, brought about fundamental changes in the lives of working-class families. In this sequel to A Millenium of Family Change, Wally Seccombe examines in detail the ways in which large-scale economic changes shape the microcosm of personal life. Seccombe argues that what we think of as the modern nuclear family only took shape relatively recently; it was not until the time of World War …

Whose Family? Whose Sexuality? Whose Society? Whose History
A Millennium of Family Change: Feudalism to Capitalism in Northwestern Europe
A Millennium of Family Change: Feudalism to Capitalism in Northwestern Europe
How do changes in family form relate to changes in society as a whole? In a work which sets out to combine theoretical rigour with historical scope, Wally Seccombe provides a study of the changing structure of families from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Responding to feminist critiques of sex-blind historical materialism, Seccombe argues that family forms must be seen to be at the heart of modes of production. He …

The Western European Marriage Pattern in Historical Perspective: A Response to David Levine
In ‘Recombinant Family Formation Strategies’(JHS vol. 2 #2) David Levine endeavoured to place the Demographic Transition in northwestern Europe in historical perspective, taking issue with the ahistorical abstraction of the mainstream modernization accounts of the transition. While in complete agreement with this objective, I thought there was a certain vagueness at the heart of Levine's bold synopsis. In this response, I have endeavoured to sket…

The Politics of Reproduction
Marxism and Demography
The primary form of Marxism’s traditional address to demography, dating back to Marx himself, has been through a virulent denunciation of its Malthusian versions. These polemics, however programmatically justified in countering largely reactionary Malthusian population policies, nevertheless have had an anaesthetic effect upon historical materialism—placing the demographic realm
Domestic Labour: Reply to Critics
The real merit of the critique made by Margaret Coulson, Branka Magaš and Hilary Wainwright of my analysis of domestic labour is that it focusses discussion about the strategic relation of women’s liberation to socialist revolution upon women’s double labour condition under capitalism. The fact that working-class women
