Acheson Ray - Abolishing State Violence A World Beyond Bombs Borders And Cages - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Abolishing State Violence is an urgent and accessible analysis of the key structures of state violence in our world today and a clarion call to action for their abolition. Connecting movements for social justice with ideas for how activists can support and build on this analysis and strategy this book shows that there are many mutually supportive abolition movements each enhanced by a shared understanding of the relationship between structures of violence and a shared framework for challenging them on the basis of their roots in patriarchy racism militarism settler colonialism and capitalism. This book argues that abolition is transformative. It is about defunding demilitarizing disbanding and divesting from current structures of violence but also about imagining new ways to organize and care for each other and our planet and about building new systems and cultures to sustain ourselves in a more equitable free and peaceful way. It shows that change is possible.
