jabulani 's review for:
Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care
by Mariame Kaba, Kelly Hayes
(audiobook review)
The information in this book was insightful and hopeful overall, and I appreciated it making space for true self care and no one-size fits all approach. It did take me awhile to finish as I could only suggest it in small bits because it is information-dense (which is a good thing). It is a good practice in self reflection and really humbling yourself to creative collaboration and mutual aid. I would recommend it for activists and organizers, young and old, new and seasoned. Sometimes it was heavy because the subject matter is heavy, but it is handled with grace and empowerment and focuses on not what the individual can do but what the community can do for itself/each other. The last chapter and the conclusion were my favorite, ending on a high note filled with quotes from inspirational folks like James Baldwin and Octavia Butler. And the afterword was interesting in that it was informative for protest strategies to protect the self.
Again perfect book for the times, no matter if you’re just starting out in your activism journey or a seasoned organizer. A loving call to arms minus the guilt. Just keep moving forward.
