"Practicing New Worlds: Abolition and Emergent Strategies" by Andrea Ritchie, with forewords by Alexis Pauline Gumbs and adrienne maree brown, explores transformative approaches to social justice rooted in abolitionist principles and emergent strategies. The book weaves together insights from Black feminist, Indigenous, and queer and trans of color organizing lineages alongside abolitionist movements, showcasing how emergent strategies—characterized by adaptation, iteration, resilience, and decentralization—are actively shaping safer, more just futures.

It emphasizes collective imagination and relational organizing to build new systems beyond violence and oppression. The authors discuss how these strategies offer a means of surviving and resisting entrenched systems of racial capitalism and authoritarianism while dreaming and enacting alternative, life-affirming futures.
