Synopsis

In Stop Trying to Fix Policing: Lessons Learned from the Front Lines of Black
Liberation, Tony Gaskew guides readers through the phenomena of police abolition,
using the cultural lens of the Black radical tradition. The author weaves an electrifying
combination of critical race theory, spiritual inheritance, decolonization,
self-determination, and armed resistance, into a critical autoethnographic journey that
illuminates the rituals of revolution required for dismantling the institution of American
policing. Stop Trying to Fix Policing is an essential work for anyone who wants to go
beyond the rhetoric of police reform, to the next step: contributing to the formation of a
world without policing.
