520    We need to talk about the family. For those who are lucky,
       families can be filled with love and care, but for many 
       they are sites of pain: from abandonment and neglect, to 
       abuse and violence. Nobody is more likely to harm you than
       your family. Even in so-called happy families, the unpaid,
       unacknowledged work that it takes to raise children and 
       care for each other is endless and exhausting. It could be
       otherwise: in this urgent, incisive polemic, leading 
       feminist critic Sophie Lewis makes the case for family 
       abolition. Abolish the Family traces the history of family
       abolitionist demands, beginning with nineteenth century 
       utopian socialist and sex radical Charles Fourier, the 
       Communist Manifesto and early-twentieth century Russian 
       family abolitionist Alexandra Kollontai. Turning her 
       attention to the 1960s, Lewis reminds us of the anti-
       family politics of radical feminists like Shulamith 
       Firestone and the gay liberationists, a tradition she 
       traces to the queer Marxists bringing family abolition to 
       the twenty-first century. This exhilarating essay looks at
       historic rightwing panic about Black families and the 
       violent imposition of the family on indigenous communities,
       and insists: only by thinking beyond the family can we 
       begin to imagine what might come after." --inside front
