AN ABOLITIONIST'S HANDBOOK 12 Steps to Changing Yourself and the World

Ariel Blake uses a bold voice to narrate this thought-provoking audiobook. Black Lives Matter cofounder Patrisse Cullors provides a handbook for becoming a 21st-century abolitionist--someone who contributes to replacing the "the modern-day white-supremacist, capitalist, racist patriarchy" that currently exists in the U.S. with a caring and dignified society. Blake steadily recites activities and directions. Chapters include guidelines for responding to injustices in everyday life, a checklist for how to communicate with others, and lists of what to read. While this work is an ambitious resource and Blake slowly and fluidly enumerates each of the 12 steps, as a handbook, it would also be useful in print so that users can more easily refer to specific parts when needed.
