A review by displacedcactus
Abolition. Feminism. Now. by Gina Dent, Beth E. Richie, Angela Y. Davis, Erica R. Meiners

challenging informative slow-paced
You can really tell this book was written by four professors. Example: They keep saying that their book has short chapters. It consists of three chapters which are FIFTY PAGES EACH.

Anyway, this book is probably great if you're doing a deep dive on the police/prison abolition movement, but this was my first book on the subject and it was a lot. Lots and lots of very academic language and references to specific movements, and not a lot of information on the how and why of abolition. Definitely don't start here. Learn from my mistake!
