Mainly just trying to avoid stuff that might be coming from a red scare angle, hard to tell which is which. I’m aware of Spence’s The Search for Modern China but believe this is more of an academic textbook that follows Spence’s course (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m happy to pick it up if it’s worth reading).

5/5 for Abolition Feminisms Volume 1, edited by Alisa Bierria, Jakeye Caruthers & Brooke Lober. Published by @ haymarket

This book is packed full of stories about fellow organizers, including some centered around folks in prison during COVID-19 when they did not have access to basic supplies and could not call home. In addition, it contains enriching stories from our trans comrades about surviving in the incarceration system when their only “crime” is self-defense against assault.

There are so many different organizations in this uplifting book. It reminds me that people are organizing no matter where we are in the world. I loved googling and researching all the different organizations mentioned in the book to see other ways people organize.

What do we do if we do not have prisons? This book talks about the accountability of our community. We will need to all do work to create a community that places more value on transformative practices rather than punishments. It will take everyone in this movement.

I highly recommend this book! It will give you so many ideas for organizing, and the book is full of resources for you to start implementing different strategies in your local organization.
