A revolutionary collaboration about the world we're living in now,
between two of our most important contemporary thinkers, writers
and activists. When much of the world entered pandemic lockdown in
spring 2020, Robyn Maynard, influential author of Policing Black
Lives, and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, award-winning author of
several books, including the recent novel Noopiming, began writing
each other letters-a gesture sparked by friendship and solidarity,
and by a desire for kinship and connection in a world shattering
under the intersecting crises of pandemic, police killings, and
climate catastrophe. Their letters soon grew into a powerful
exchange on the subject of where we go from here. Rehearsals is a
captivating book, part debate, part dialogue, part lively and
detailed familial correspondence between two razor-sharp writers
convening on what it means to get free as the world spins into some
new orbit. In a genre-defying exchange, the authors collectively
envision the possibilities for more liberatory futures during a
historic year of Indigenous land defense, prison strikes, and
global-Black-led rebellions against policing. By articulating to
each other Black and Indigenous perspectives on our unprecedented
here and now, and the long-disavowed histories of slavery and
colonization that have brought us to this moment in the first
place, Maynard and Simpson create something new: a vital demand for
a different way forward, and a poetic call to dream up new ways of
ordering earthly life.
