We Will Not Cancel Us: And Other Dreams of Transformative Justice
Cancel or call-out culture is a fraught topic these days. Originating as a way for marginalised people to address harm and take down powerful abusers, often with the help of social media, it is seen by some as having gone too far. But what is "too far" when you're talking about imbalances of power and patterns of harm? And what happens when people in social movements direct our righteous anger inward at one another?
In We Will Not Cancel Us, movement mediator Adrienne Maree Brown reframes the discussion for us in a way that points to possible paths beyond our impasse. Most critiques of cancel culture come from outside the milieus that produce it, sometimes even from its targets. However, Brown explores the question from a Black, queer, and feminist viewpoint that gently asks, how well does this practice serve us? Does it prefigure the sort of world we want to live in? And, if it doesn't, how so we seek accountability and redress for harm in ways that reflect our values?
