Abolition Revolution

'A powerful analysis of the transformative potential of the abolitionist project. Day and McBean show why we must go beyond shifting a few dollars around to directly challenge the logics of capitalism, racism and patriarchy at the heart of the carceral state' -- Alex S. Vitale, author of 'The End of Policing' 'Vibrantly chronicles the cultural and political landscape of abolitionist practices in the UK. Day and McBean weave a powerful array of analysis, histories and voices - from organisers, scholars, unionists and/or incarcerated people - to offer profoundly necessary historical lessons that formulate the pathways that shape our abolition feminist revolutions' -- Erica R. Meiners, co-author of 'Abolition. Feminism. Now.' 'Aviah Sarah Day and Shanice Octavia McBean speak with such eloquence, conviction and passion that readers will want to join their struggle for abolition revolution. Their trenchant and concrete analysis of the criminalisation of the Black and Asian youth, of carceral white bourgeois feminism, gentrification, police and state violence make essential reading. Let's head their call for an abolitionist future' -- Francoise Verges, author of 'A Decolonial Feminism' 'Not only does this superlative book expertly dismantle the dogmas of liberal anti-racism and carceral feminism which reproduce the systems of power, it also points the way forward to a post-abolitionist future in a meticulous, clear-headed way. Highly recommended' -- Silvia Federici, author of 'Caliban and the Witch' 'A thorough, engaging and important read - that held me through new information whilst never sacrificing depth. I'm so glad this book exists!' -- Travis Alabanza, award winning writer, performer and theatre maker
