"In 1972 Selma James set out a new political perspective. Her starting point was the millions of unwaged women who, working in the home and on the land, were not seen as "workers" and whose struggled were viewed as outside of the class struggle. Based on her political training in the Johnson-Forest tendency, founded by her late husband CLR James, on movement experience South and North, and on a respectful reading of Marx, she redefined the working class to include sectors previously dismissed as "marginal." For James, the class struggle presents itself as the conflict between the reproduction and survival of the human race, and the dictatorship of the market with its exploitation, wars, and ecological devastation. She sums up her strategy for change as 'Invest in Caring Not Killing.' This selection, spanning six decades, traces the development of this perspective in the course of building an international campaigning network. It incorporates Jean Rhys and Virginia Woolf, sex worker activism, Marx and feminism, breastfeeding, unions and workers, the UN Decade for Women, anti-Zionism, jailhouse lawyers, refuseniks, Haiti's Black Jacobins, Tanzania's *ujamaa*, the Venezuelan Revolution, SlutWalk, and a reappraisal of CLR James. The writing is lucid and without jargon. The ideas, never abstract, spring from the experience of organizing, from trying to make sense of the successes and setbacks, and from the need to find a way forward."
