Description
Surviving the Future: Abolitionist Queer Strategies is a collection of radical queer movement work and revolutionary queer theory. In the face of global upheaval, these queers reject progressive narratives of liberal hope to build mutual networks of rebellion and care. This book proposes a militant strategy of queer survival in an ever precarious future, starting from a position of abolition - of prisons, police, the State, identity, and racist cisheteronormative society. The contributors to this collection span a range of topics, including Black queer life during COVID-19, assimilation and pinkwashing settler colonial projects, subversive forms of representation, and building anarchist trans/queer infrastructures. By ditching false hope for collective visions of liberation, these writers imagine alternate worlds that refuse the legacies of racial capitalism, anti-Blackness, and settler colonialism. This book offers a powerful vision of queer survival and rebellion in the face of uncertainty, one that refuses to be bound by the norms of mainstream representation.
