‘Phenomenal … Offers us possibilities for rescuing the conceptof democracy from its fatal entanglement with racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism’Angela Y. Davis’Embraces the unruliness of collective struggle, and recognizes freedom not as a destination but practicean abolitionist, feminist, anticapitalist, antiracist, radically inclusive practice’Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams’A compelling and inspiring book that belongs in ourmovements and our classrooms’Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders’An elegantly written masterpiece’Barbara Ransby, author of Making All Black Lives Matter Become Ungovernableis a provocative new work of political thought setting out to reclaim freedom, justice, and democracy, revolutionary ideas that are all too often warped in the interests of capital and the state. Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H.L.T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics.With each chapter anchored by episodes from the long history of resistance and rebellions against tyranny, Quan calls for us to take up a feminist ethic of living rooted in the principles of radical inclusion, mutuality and friendship as part of the larger toolkit for confronting fascism, white supremacy, and the neoliberal labor regime.H.L.T. Quanis a political theorist, award-winning filmmaker and Associate Professor of Justice and Social Inquiry in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University.
