Mini, grassroots “review” of my latest, big edited anthology, “Constellations of Care: Anarcha-Feminism in Practice” (@plutopress, with gorgeous cover design by @eff_charm), thanks to someone named Hannah!
Always grateful for the do-it-ourselves ways we think and act—and write—thereby educating ourselves together for freedom. So rather than assuming that book reviews need to come from on high (penned by academics, professional experts, and others), it’s joy to see readers themselves share their thoughts. And in the case of this particular collective—filled with many dozens or even well over a hundred voices bravely telling their own stories of forms of feministic self-organization that too often get overlooked or undervalued—it’s extra sweet when someone finds their own power to voice their perspective. (Because yes, *even* in anarchistic circles, patriarchy too often informs who gets to hold the reins of publishing power.)
So thank you, Hannah, for this compact review of #ConstellationsOfCare:
“Wonderfully expansive conversations, recollections, reflections, and creations from different anarcha-feminists groups across the world. I loved the varied backgrounds of the movements, how they came to be, and their struggles and victories. I was fascinated by the conversations on safe spaces, conflict, grief, and medicine. All chapters were very accessible, and each author wrote without defense but [instead] complete openness.
“‘Love is not keeping your hands clean; Love is courage’ [quoting from contributor @tlalcihuatlx].”
Appreciation, too, to the good folks at @rubicundbooks for this photo. I always also love seeing my books in the wild, including in such rad bookstores.
