520 "Abolishing state violence is an urgent and accessible
analysis of the key structures of state violence in our
world today, and a clarion call to action for their
abolition. Acheson argues that understanding the
relationship between structures of violence and frameworks
for challenging them must be on the basis of their roots
in patriarchy, racism, militarism, settler colonialism,
and capitalism. Abolition is transformative. It is about
defunding, demilitarizing, disbanding, and divesting from
current structures of violence, but also about imagining
new ways to organize and care for each other and our
planet, and about building new systems and cultures to
sustain ourselves in a more equitable, free, and peaceful
way. It shows that change is possible"--Back cover.
