The Care Crisis: A letter from the Editor

How to Blow Up a Pipeline: A letter from the Editor

"What is remarkable about Andreas’s writing, to me, is that in reading this book, it’s immediately clear that destruction, sabotage, and occupation are acts of love." – Jessie Kindig, editor

Authors

Judith-butler-f_medium
Judith Butler

“As a strategy of resistance and protest, nonviolence is often seen as passive and resolutely individual. Butler’s philosophical inquiry argues that it is in fact a shrewd and even aggressive collective political tactic.” – The New York Times

Angela Y. Davis
“For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.” – James Baldwin
Tariq-ali-f_medium
Tariq Ali
“Ali remains an outlier and intellectual bomb-thrower; an urbane, Oxford-educated polemicist.” — Observer
Roy-f_medium
Arundhati Roy
“The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart.” – Alice Walker

Benedict Anderson
“Everything Anderson wrote was boldly original, challenging assumptions by uncovering a neglected or suppressed voice.” — Guardian

Sophie Lewis

“Full Surrogacy Now is the seriously radical cry for full gestational justice that I long for.” – Donna Haraway
