Abolitionist Intimacies
by El Jones
challenging
emotional
informative
Thanks to Libro FM for the free copy of this book.
- ABOLITIONIST INTIMACIES combines both poetry and praxis to look at the state of incarceration today and imagine what could be.
- Jones relates the personal stories of the many incarcerated people she has known and worked with over the years, detailing the many ways - large and small - that the state strips them of their humanity.
- I did find it to get a bit repetitive about halfway through. Jones tended to tell a story in an essay and then again later in poetry. I do recommend the audiobook though, as narrator Aiza Ntibarikure reads with strength and emotion.
