Radical Intimacy

‘A clarion voice from a new generation of British feminists’ Sophie Lewis, author of Abolish the Family ‘A powerful, utterly engaging read and a vital call to action’ Meg-John Barker, author of Rewriting the Rules ‘Made me reconsider so many of the cultural scripts I’ve been fed my whole life. Unsparing, important and hopeful’ Annie Lord, author of Notes on Heartbreak In a world where money rules, what does it mean to have good relationships? Radical Intimacy explores how the capitalist system shapes our intimate lives, and what we can do about it. Through the topics of self-care, romance and sex, family, home, death and friendship, the book looks at the histories and modern realities of these forms of intimacy, and considers what it might mean for things to be otherwise. From political sex scandals to climate justice, from Britney Spears to communes, from Black Lives Matter to alternatives to the nuclear family, Sophie K. Rosa interrogates common sense ideas about ‘the good life’. What might our desires look like in a better world? And how can care, connection and community support our struggles for liberation? Sophie K. Rosa is a writer and journalist. She has written for many publications including Novara Media, the Independent, the Guardian, Buzzfeed, VICE, Al Jazeera, Aeon and CNN.
