Fire dreams: making black feminist liberation in the south - laura mctighe

For thirty-five years, the New Orleans-based Black feminist collective Women With A Vision (WWAV) has fought for the liberation of their communities through reproductive justice, harm reduction, abolition feminism, racial justice, and sex workers rights.

In 2012, shortly after one of WWAVs biggest organizing victories, arsonists firebombed and destroyed its headquarters.

Fire Dreams is an innovative collaboration between WWAV and Laura McTighe, who work in community to build a social movement ethnography of the organizations post-arson rebirth.

Rooting WWAV in the geography of the South and the living history of generations of Black feminist thinkers, McTighe and WWAV weave together stories from its founders pioneering work during the Black HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s and its groundbreaking organizing to end criminalization in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina---with other movements for liberation as accomplices.

Together, the authors refuse the logics of racial capitalism and share WWAVs own world-building knowledges, as well as their methods for living these Black feminist futures now.

Fire Dreams is a vital toolkit for grassroots organizers, activist-scholars, and all those who dream to make the world otherwise.
