caprivoyant's review against another edition
A great overview of abolition, feminism, and intersectionality.
One of my favorite call-outs from this one, specifically, is about how abolition is often sometimes seen as a utopian solution and how that makes even the organizing for it rather unobtainable. We're all human, we all make mistakes, and abolition is meant to support humans; so it's natural that the process of abolition itself might be wrought with trip-ups and tumbles. And maybe that's the point because in figuring out how to navigate the trip-ups, we learn valuable lessons about how to care for one another more deeply and start to build new systems and practices that become instrumental to a society that values freedom for everyone.
