Dylan’s writing is pretty dense, but it becomes more clear after the Introduction and first chapter.

Fortunately, Dylan is also pretty good at the “scholar activist” thing so you can find tons of interviews with him where he speaks with less academy-ese.

Looking forward to the companion piece.

Dylan has some good ideas but the reliance on jargon and bloated academic language makes it a giant F U to anyone outside the ivory tower who might wanna engage with it. Well, F U too, buddy.

I have a feeling he wants to call out the abolition camp, but he 1) is too chickenshit to do it directly and 2)knows he is partly to blame.

P.s. I hope his editor refuses him vol 2. Nobody wants to read any more of this!
