This was a difficult read for me. Some of it was the content (it hits you with a lot of stories of sexual violence pretty early on) and some of it was the presentation of the material. This is an anthology, but one that assembles a lot of different styles of content. It begins with more personal essays then moves on to items that are more like knowledge share documents then transcribed interviews with folks from the movement and then on to academic-esque articles about transformative justice experiences. Some of this material was easy to digest and relate to and other pieces left me feeling at a distance from what was being communicated. I think there's a lot of valuable information in here, but the disparate nature of its presentation left me, as a beginner to transformative justice, unsure of how to actually internalize and utilize the information. As the book went on it felt like it was speaking passed me to those that were more ingrained in the movement as larger ideas got shorthanded and folks started using acronyms more and more. I just wish the information had been presented more accessibly, but then, maybe it wasn't mean for someone like me that wasn't as familiar with the concepts.
