Daniel Martinez HoSang taps into moments across time and place to reveal the longstanding drive toward a vision of universal emancipation. From the nineteenth century's abolition democracy and the struggle to end forced sterilizations, to the twentieth century's domestic worker organizing campaigns, to the twenty-first century's environmental justice movement, he reveals a bold, shared desire to realize the antithesis of \"a philosophy based on a contempt for life,\" as articulated by Martin Luther King Jr. Rather than seeking \"equal rights\" within failed systems, these efforts generated new visions that embraced human difference, vulnerability, and interdependence as core productive facets of our collective experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVividly distills the long struggle to abolish racial subordination through stories of organizers, artists, and writers who carried wide-ranging visions of freedom and liberation.
