Publisher Description
Abolition. Feminism. Now. is a celebration of freedom work, a movement genealogy, a call to action, and a challenge to those who think of abolition and feminism as separate—even incompatible—political projects.
In this remarkable collaborative work, leading scholar-activists Angela Y. Davis, Gina Dent, Erica R. Meiners, and Beth E. Richie surface the often unrecognized genealogies of queer, anti-capitalist, internationalist, grassroots, and women-of-color-led feminist movements, struggles, and organizations that have helped to define abolition and feminism in the twenty-first century.
This pathbreaking book also features illustrations documenting the work of grassroots organizers embodying abolitionist feminist practice.
Amplifying the analysis and the theories of change generated out of vibrant community based organizing, Abolition. Feminism. Now. highlights necessary historical linkages, key internationalist learnings, and everyday practices to imagine a future where we can all thrive.
Customer Reviews
Bravo for The Women’s Movement!
I remember being a young child, admiring the strength, power and voice of Angela Davis and wanting to be just like her.
Timely published for the Women’s issues of today, during an unprecedented time, this book reminds me as a Woman, that we don’t have to look to men to solve the problems that plague women of color and the trans, queer communities to do something about them, we can and have organized just as they did back in the day.
I’m also glad to know that some of the specific instances that are published in this book have been or are being resolved, so progress is being made.
There are so many organizations that I have learned about just reading this book. Grateful for each of their contributions and activism as a woman. Keep it going Sistas! The struggle is never over. 🙏🏽✊🏽
