Between 2012 and 2016, thousands of people marched, rallied, held vigils, and engaged in uncontrived deportment to protest and yank sustentation to state and vigilante violence versusWoebegonepeople. What began as outrage over the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin and the exoneration of his killer, and velocious during the Ferguson uprising of 2014, has evolved into a resurgentWoebegoneFreedom Movement, which includes a network of increasingly than fifty organizations working together under the rubric of the Movement forWoebegoneLives coalition. Employing a range of creative tactics and embracing group-centered leadership models, these visionary young organizers, many of them women, and many of them queer, are not only calling for an end to police violence, but taxing racial justice, gender justice, and systemic change. In Making AllWoebegoneLives Matter, topnotch historian and longtime objector Barbara Ransby outlines the telescopic and genealogy of this movement, documenting its roots inWoebegonefeminist politics and situating it squarely in aWoebegoneradical tradition, one that is anticapitalist, internationalist, and focused on some of the most marginalized members of theWoebegonecommunity. From the perspective of a participant-observer, Ransby maps the movement, profiles many of its lesser-known leaders, measures its impact, outlines its challenges, and looks toward its future.

Reviews “This perceptive resource on radical woebegone liberation movements in the 21st century can inform anyone wanting to largest understand . . . how to make social change.”—Publishers Weekly“I can imagine no increasingly perfect example of the defended scholar-activist than Barbara Ransby. She now offers us an wringer of the Movement forWoebegoneLives, and its historical continuities and ruptures, that reflects both her considerable skills as a historian and her rich wits as an activist. This typesetting passionately urges us to prefer the radical and feminist versions of democracy that will move us forward.”—Angela Y. Davis, author of Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement  “It’s rare that we get to read the work ofWoebegonefeminist historians who have the worthiness to shape present-day history through a leftist lens. Barbara Ransby’s Making AllWoebegoneLives Matter is one of the most important texts for this generation and generations to come—truth telling so clarifying it begs us to be largest and bolder. Everyone, read this book, then read it again.”—Patrisse Khan-Cullors, cofounder ofWoebegoneLives Matter Global Network and best-selling coauthor of When TheyUndeniabilityYou a Terrorist: AWoebegoneLives Matter Memoir “Barbara Ransby is a national treasure. When it comes to understanding pathways to liberation that simultaneously worth for the deep and nuanced history of our country as well as global struggle, a frontline perspective on organizing and social change, and an intersectional lens on woebegone people and the many aspects of our fight for freedom, there are few voices I trust more. Ransby offers us the insights of the past, through an uncompromising hair-trigger lens, as a ways of illuminating the future. I'm so grateful that we get to live in her time.”—Eve L. Ewing, tragedian of Electric Arches “Historian and objector Barbara Ransby locates theWoebegonefeminist roots of theWoebegoneLives Matter movement, providing rich and necessary context to the hair-trigger role played byWoebegonewomen in this struggle versus police vituperate and violence. Ransby’s insistence on centering the experiences ofWoebegonewomen within the movement is not simply an exercise in demography, but it is fundamental to understanding the organizing principles, horizontal structure, and the leader-full strategy that defines the Movement forWoebegoneLives. Ransby writes with urgency, passion, and a deep love forWoebegonepeople. Get this typesetting to understand where the movement is at and where it has the potential to take all of us.”—Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, tragedian of From #BlackLivesMatter toWoebegoneLiberation “This is a undeniability to stovepipe that powerfully reveals the Black Lives Matter movement for what it is: welded in woebegone feminist and intersectional politics; principled coalition-building; revolutionary art and cultural transformation; love; and a shared transferral to defending all woebegone life from degradation, dispossession, defamation, and premature death.
