This book was a joy to read, and I’m so sad it’s over that I just may read it all over again. Bettina Love is tough and compassionate, and she urges and empowers the reader to embrace an abolitionist lens to any profession or simply to be human. Her story is powerful and her knowledge makes compelling reading.

This book is PACKED with incredible information. I appreciated the blend of research, analysis, and personal anecdotes from Love. While I thought each chapter stood on it's own as perhaps a singular essay rather than a continuous book, chapters 5 & 6 were definitely the strongest and most impactful to me. This book opens so many pathways for further research and analysis on the part of the reader.
Seeing some of the lower reviews and critiques on this book, I think it's a good idea for the reader to pay attention to the synopsis on the back cover. This book does not claim to be solely a "how-to" manual. It has more of a "these are the reasons why you should."
Super strong points are made throughout the book and it's important for every educator and aspiring educator to learn from Love, and others who share her position.

So good until the last line when she said we could be abolitionist CEOs but we'll ignore that for the rest of the beautifully woven narrative, theoretical, and practical assertions of abolition and freedom dreaming throughout.
