New York Times Bestseller "Organizing is both science and art. It
is thinking through a vision, a strategy, and then figuring out who
your targets are, always being concerned about power, always being
concerned about how you're going to actually build power in order
to be able to push your issues, in order to be able to get the
target to actually move in the way that you want to." What if
social transformation and liberation isn't about waiting for
someone else to come along and save us? What if ordinary people
have the power to collectively free ourselves? In this timely
collection of essays and interviews, Mariame Kaba reflects on the
deep work of abolition and transformative political struggle. With
a foreword by Naomi Murakawa and chapters on seeking justice beyond
the punishment system, transforming how we deal with harm and
accountability, and finding hope in collective struggle for
abolition, Kaba's work is deeply rooted in the relentless belief
that we can fundamentally change the world. As Kaba writes,
"Nothing that we do that is worthwhile is done alone."

This book presents a metacritique of racial formation theory. The
essays within this volume explore the fault lines of the racial
formation concept, identify the power relations to which it
inheres, and resolve the ethical coordinates for alternative ways
of conceiving of racism and its correlations with sexism,
homophobia, heteronormativity, gender politics, empire, economic
exploitation, and other valences of bodily construction,
performance, and control in the twenty-first century. Collectively,
the contributors advance the argument that contemporary racial
theorizing remains mired in antiblackness. Across a diversity of
approaches and objects of analysis, the contributors assess what we
describe as the conceptual aphasia gripping racial theorizing in
our multicultural moment: analyses of racism struck dumb when
confronted with the insatiable specter of black historical
struggle.
