It's time to think this through.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Cancel\" or \"call-out\" culture is a source of much tension and debate in American society. The infamous \"\u003cem\u003eHarper's\u003c\/em\u003e Letter,\" signed by public intellectuals of both the left and right, sought to settle the matter and only caused greater division. Originating as a way for marginalized and disempowered people to address harm and take down powerful abusers, often with the help of social media, call outs are seen by some as having gone too far. But what is \"too far\" when you're talking about imbalances of power and patterns of harm? And what happens when people in social justice movements direct their righteous anger inward at one another?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWe Will Not Cancel Us\u003c\/em\u003e, movement mediator adrienne maree brown reframes the discussion for us, in a way that points to possible paths beyond this impasse. Most critiques of cancel culture come from outside the milieus that produce it, sometimes even from from its targets. However, brown explores the question from a Black, queer, and feminist viewpoint that gently asks, how well does this practice serve us? Does it prefigure the sort of world we want to live in? And, if it doesn't, how do we seek accountability and redress for harm in ways that reflect our values?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an Afterword by Malkia Devich-Cyril.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrienne Maree Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AK Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.40h x 4.50w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849354226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eadrienne maree brown\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003eEmergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003ePleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good\u003c\/em\u003e; co-editor of \u003cem\u003eOctavia's Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements\u003c\/em\u003e; cohost of \u003cem\u003eHow to Survive the End of the World\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOctavia's Parables\u003c\/em\u003e; and founder of the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Adrienne Maree Brown \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47281819517085,"sku":"9781849354226","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_06ec8754-e402-42d7-aaa3-6125d0478ded.jpg?v=1759936927","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/we-will-not-cancel-us-and-other-dreams-of-transformative-justice-9781849354226","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
