Although I picked this book up because I wanted more of a direct guide to dealing with these issues (not what this book is), I have come to realize that there is never going to be something like that. Intimate violence, abuse, “toxicity”, and manipulation are much more complicated and individual than any one-size-fits-all guide could provide for. Even with this realization, I still wish there was more direct stories of community accountability rather than stories of abuse (which are incredibly important).
I don’t really have much else to say, the collection is incredibly important and I am quite proud that I read it . It is similar to Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown and, because I read it after reading Emergent Strategy, I consider it a building on what was written about there.
