*Unlocked Lit Review* Abolishing The Family In Its Current Capitalist Formation

Radio Cachimbona Podcast

Yvette Borja discusses "Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care" by M.E. O'Brien author, scholar, and preacher Dr. Courtney Bryant. They work through the connections between prison and police abolition and the capitalist nuclear family unit, note how communities of color have always operated outside of this nuclear family unit ideal, and imagine how familial and loving relationships would look different without coercion embedded within them.
