Through Harvard Law School she comes to see that that solution can be found not just in the debate on better policing but the end of the policing itself. She describes her political awakening and activism through watching the aftermaths of events including Hurricane Katrina, the murder of Trayvon Martin and the uprising in her hometown of Ferguson following the death of Michael Brown. Louis, where she was often unhoused and experienced food insecurity, and where calling 911 was often the only option in a crisis. In this extraordinary, revelatory memoir, Derecka Purnell recounts her own path towards abolitionism. In the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and the resurgence of Black Lives Matter the call for the abolition of the police became a central demand for the movement. Another example: one author (Allais) defends "reading the Critique forward" (47) - by which she means reading the Transcendental Analytic in light of the Aesthetic - while another (Conant) defends the opposite strategy (129-130).

Part memoir and part cultural criticism, this collection is vulnerable, humorous, and provocative–and its relentless and riveting pursuit of vital questions around family and friendship, art and politics, identity and individuality, will change the way you think about our world.īinding these essays together is Hong’s theory of “minor feelings.” As the daughter of Korean immigrants, Cathy Park Hong grew up steeped in shame, suspicion, and melancholy.
