An Abolitionist's Handbook is chockablock full of great information. The book may only be 288 pages but the knowledge being dispensed is incredibly dense.
Cullors provides historical background, anecdotes from her own life, and great questions for everyone to reflect on at the end of each chapter. Anyone can apply the information contained in this book in their social justice work, and even their personal life.
I will definitely have to reread this handbook a few times to absorb all the information Cullors imparts within its pages.

Really brilliantly written and very thought-provoking. Would recommend to absolutely everyone even if you do not identify as an abolitionist.

A roadmap of daily practices to transform ourselves and the world! A reference to come back to again and again. Love all the abolitionists and world builders cited by Patrisse and interview with adrienne maree brown at the end!

I received a free ALC from Netgalley and Macmillan Audio in exchange for an honest review.
The content of this book is phenomenal and the audiobook narrator is especially engaging. I felt very inspired while listening and loved how accessible the content is for baby abolitionists. This book focuses on abolition as a whole, not exclusively police/prison abolition, which I think is a unique approach. I appreciated in particular the inclusion of disability justice ideas. Each step includes further reading and challenging reflection questions. I will be recommending this to literally everyone!
