Reviews

"""Through close reading, Jess A. Goldberg shows us that 'justice is not an event' and that to bring into being a different set of relations, imagining and building must take place at the same time. Clearly and compellingly argued and written, Abolition Time arrives right on time. This book is utterly necessary."" --Christina Sharpe, author of Ordinary Notes ""In Abolition Time, Jess A. Goldberg develops an abolitionist reading practice through which readers can find the seeds of collective liberation immanent in creative intellectual work. By emphasizing reading as constructive and imaginative work rather than passive decoding, Goldberg encourages us to reimagine what being human could mean in a world where people were truly free."" --Anthony Reed, author of Soundworks: Race, Sound, and Poetry in Production"
