Abolition. Feminism. Now.
What to expect
As a politic and a practice, abolition increasingly shapes our political moment—halting the construction of new jails and propelling movements to divest from policing. Yet erased from this landscape are not only the central histories of feminist—usually queer, anticapitalist, grassroots, and women of color—organizing that continue to cultivate abolition but a recognition of a stark reality: abolition is our best response to endemic forms of state and interpersonal gender and sexual violence.
Amplifying the analysis and the theories of change generated from vibrant, community-based organizing, Abolition. Feminism. Now. surfaces necessary historical genealogies, key internationalist learnings, and everyday practices to grow our collective and flourishing present and futures.
Critics Review
-
“A genealogy of the movements that brought us here, lessons learned, battles won and lost, and the ongoing collective struggle to build a thoroughly revolutionary vision and practice.”
Robin D. G. Kelly, author of Freedom Dreams
-
“Four visionaries…reveal the connections between state violence and intimate violence, between prisons and family policing, and between local and global organizing…The authors compel us to see the urgent necessity of abolition feminism now.”
Dorothy Roberts, author of Torn Apart
-
“Powerful, wise, and well-crafted…The book explains how organizing to end violence without turning to violent institutions such as prisons and the police as remedies, is how we learn what we need to do to make change possible…It gives us a name for what we want. Abolitionism. Now.”
Sara Ahmed, author of Willful Subjects
-
“This book is a lineage of words and visuals, showing us the beauty of our efforts and gently reminding us that we are not failing—we are learning and we are changing.”
adrienne maree brown, author of Emergent Strategy
