Abolition. Feminism. Now. (Abolitionist Papers Book 2 of 4) [B1139]

2021 PB in excellent condition. 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. From page 169: "Now is the time for righteous anger and settling into the painful reality of the carnage that prisons, policing, detention- all forced confinement- have created for us."

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Great read. Angela Davis and these messages have never been more relevant than they are in 2025."; "Learning about all these groups and all the work they've done, the seeds they've planted, gave me a lot of hope. Let's pick up the baton and carry it forward."; "Real, on the ground, narrations of involvement with advice and resources for active participation in change. And as always, capitalism remains the bad guy."
