Capitalist acceleration and the patriarchal organisation of labour have robbed us of life's most vital resource: time. Caught within a toxic neoliberal grind culture that puts the burden of making and saving time squarely on the individual, we actually have less and less of it. To escape this unforgiving acceleration, Friederike Beier offers a new chronofeminist politics to reclaim time for care, rest, and democracy. She introduces novel perspectives on gender inequality, environmental destruction, and democratic decline. Bridging queer, feminist, crip theories and politics of time, the study offers a radical blueprint to reclaim time for a better, more equitable, inclusive, ecological, and caring future.

Reviews for Time to Care: Chronofeminist Politics for Democracy, Gender Equality and Time Justice

»Time is everything. Our lives are defined by our shared need for time to care and be cared for. Friederike Beier's thrilling analysis unveils the hazards of capitalist extraction of time and authoritarian accelerationism, offering insights into emancipatory time politics for the present and the future to come.«-- ""Jule Govrin, philosopher"" »Like an insurgency of sick, utopianist bodies against the tick-tick-tick of our productivity-worshipping society, Time To Care goes straight to the heart of what matters on this earth. Friederike Beier is at the forefront of a brilliant, militant, future-bound queer-materialist feminism against capitalism and cisness. I highly recommend this book.«-- ""Sophie Lewis, author of »Enemy Feminism, Abolish the Family and Full Sorrogacy Now«""
