This book is stunning in its questions and tone, open and learning, personal and theoretical. It is a gift to us all, one that helps so much in these critical, difficult times.

For decades Zillah Eisenstein has been a leading thinker in feminist criticism. She has consistently illustrated for us how addressing economic exploitation and racial domination as well as imperialism are essential to feminist futures. In this book, with stunning clarity, intellectual sharpness, and deep love, she makes the task of freedom-fighting both clear and absolutely compelling. Her prose is pointed and accessible and her argument is sophisticated and nuanced. Through example and analysis, she guides readers through the current morass toward refreshed freedom dreams, deeper solidarity, and both global and local liberation struggles. This is a book for readers across the spectrum of age, identity, and political experience, who sustain hope despite our current despair.

Abolitionist Socialist Feminism is a sharp, dauntless, and timely text that is both a mandate and a teaching tool. After reading Eisenstein’s astute take on radical movement building, no longer can the socialist deny the power of feminist politics. No longer can the feminist refuse the call to ground their politics in an intersectional class analysis. No longer can the abolitionist imagine and build a world free of that which harms us without an appeal to socialist feminism. Eisenstein’s bold call for an abolitionist socialist feminism is thunderous. And it is one that we will do well to heed.

A deftly crafted, impressively informative, clarion call to the kind of political action that is fundamentally necessary if political patriarchy is to be overcome and eventually abolished, Abolitionist Socialist Feminism: Radicalizing the Next Revolution is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Contemporary Political Science collections in general, and Feminist Issues supplemental studies reading lists in particular.
