This book serves as something more than a sketch and less than a blueprint for how we are going to transition ourselves into a better way of doing things. It does get repetitive, as a lot of the essays are covering the same things. But it is worth powering through that for the thinking and, most importantly, constant evaluation and self critique. It is worth pickup up the book just for Kali Akuno's essay toward the end and Max Rameau's essay on land. I suspect I'll be referring back to this one often, as so much of the landscape in Baltimore parallels Jackson.
