- Summary:
- "A collection of illuminating interviews with leading abolitionist organizers and thinkers, reflecting on the uprisings of summer 2020, the rise of #defund, and the work ahead of bridging the divide between reform and abolition. As scholar-activist Calvin John Smiley makes clear, defund was always more than a brief moment:it is part of an ongoing struggle against white supremacy, capitalism, state-sanctioned police violence, and mass incarceration."--Page [4] of cover.
