Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures - Paperback
About this item
by Kathi Weeks (Author)
Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures takes up the work of three iconic feminist thinkers--Angela Davis, Shulamith Firestone, and Donna Haraway--to ask how each author's vision of work, the family, and the carceral state can expand contemporary feminism's ability to structurally analyze social problems. Kathi Weeks examines the archive of this unexpected collection of Marxist feminists whose works are united by their abolitionist approaches, arguing that feminism can gain a broader constituency by taking up anti-capitalist critique and praxis. Across the book's chapters, Weeks recontextualizes well-known feminist texts in a new and original light, bringing their insight from the past into the present and future of abolitionist politics.
