Review of 'We Want to Do More Than Survive' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I first encountered Love through a livestream from Haymarket Books and was so intrigued that I had to know more. This book is great. It’s part memoir, part research, and all manifesto. I wish it was a little bit more of a how-to, or maybe offered a framework to work from, but I guess I need to do more research elsewhere on anti-racist pedagogy. (Additionally, another, more personal, concern is that it’s an American book, and I feel like I am lacking in knowledge in Canadian abolitionists and anti-racist work.)
