In activist circles and elsewhere, it has become commonplace to speak of self-care, taking for granted that the meaning of this expression is self-evident. But "self" and "care" are not static or monolithic; nor is "health." How has this discourse been colonized by capitalist values? How could we expand our notion of care to encompass a transformative practice? Following "For All We Care," analyzing the contradictory currents within the category of care, Crimethinc presents "Self as Other," combining that text with three more essays in which individuals recount their personal struggles with the concept and practice of care.
