Description

In this landmark work, four of the world s leading scholar-activists issue an urgent call for a truly intersectional, internationalist, abolitionist feminism.

As a politics and as a practice, abolitionism has increasingly shaped our political moment, amplified through the worldwide protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a uniformed police officer. It is at the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement, in its demands for police defunding and demilitarisation, and a halt to prison construction.

As this book shows, abolitionism and feminism stand shoulder-to-shoulder in fighting a common cause: the end of the carceral state, with its key role in perpetuating violence, both public and private, in prisons, in police forces, and in people s homes. Abolitionist theories and practices are at their most compelling when they are feminist; and a feminism that is also abolitionist is the most inclusive and persuasive version of feminism for these times.

ABOLITION. FEMINISM. NOW.

This extraordinary book makes the most compelling case I ve ever seen for the indivisibility of feminism and abolition Robin D. G. Kelley

This book is as capacious and demanding as the abolitionist feminism it calls for Sara Ahmed
