非洲许多中低收入家庭对新型冠状病毒肺炎的反应是由国家通过各种手段进行调解的，包括直接现金转移、食品分配和将农村农产品分配到城市地区，以应对疫情引发的社会再生产危机。本文以国家与家庭的关系为切入点，对社会供给与经济崩溃的结合点所产生的社会政治问题进行了反思。这些问题的核心是非洲护理经济的结构及其与资本主义国家的关系。
The responses of many low- and middle-income households to Covid-19 in Africa were mediated by the state through various means including direct cash transfers, food distribution, and distribution of rural agricultural produce to urban areas, in response to the social reproduction crisis that the pandemic precipitated. Taking the relationship between the state and household as its focus, this article reflects on the social and political questions emerging at the conjuncture of social provisioning and economic collapse. Central to these concerns is the structure of care economies in Africa and their relationship to the capitalist state.
