Publisher's Synopsis
A vital anthology exploring the intersections between caregiving and abolition.
Abolition has never been a proposal to simply tear things down. It is also about creation and growth. As we struggle to build a liberatory, caring, loving, abundant future, we have much to learn from the work of raising, caring for, and nurturing future generations.
In We Grow the World Together, organizers and media-makers Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson bring together a collection of voices that reveal how people are practicing abolition in their daily lives through parenting and caregiving. From personal narratives to policy analysis to activist chronicles, these writers highlight the essential place of abolition in struggles for parenting justice, offer abolitionist tools to apply to the work of parenting, and uplift the lessons that caregiving offers to all movements for liberation.
