We Will Not Cancel Us: And Other Dreams of Transformative Justice by adrienne maree brown
Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
I hated pleasure activism. I thought this would redeem the author in my eyes as it's a topic I care about.
The first 22 pages of this 88 page book are about explaining why the book has been changed since the original blog post.
After wasting my time on a quarter of the book, I checked the table of contents and saw that We will not cancel us starts at page 51 and the afterword starts at page 52.
I kept reading - after all, I had finally finished all the warnings and apologies, so I was ready to power through.
The book started talking about US politics and why the US doesn't deal with covid as well as other countries. That was, as a non-American who is deeply uninterested in US navel-gazing and someone who doesn't really believe in governments to begin with, my last straw.
