By reimagining revolution as an inclusive and daily practice, Lehman-Ewing offers a blueprint for sustainable, transformative change in an increasingly complex world.
In “Reimagining the Revolution,” Lehman-Ewing writes about a modern prison abolition movement that is centered on pathways outside traditional politics, proposing new ideas around justice and how to create a better, safer society.
Erika WilliamsReimagining the Revolution: Paula Lehman-Ewing probes new ideas around criminal justice
In her groundbreaking book, Reimagining the Revolution, Paula Lehman-Ewing sheds light on the often-overlooked perspectives of incarcerated individuals, particularly their revolutionary thought and art.
Both “Beneath the Mountain” and “Reimagining the Revolution” are appeals to consider the idea that a state which profits from the labor of incarcerated individuals and tortures them is not operating a justice system; it’s perpetuating slavery, and that has a ripple effect on American life.
The author’s passion for her cause and affection for the individuals she profiles makes this book an excellent introduction to the modern prison abolition movement.
