"Family Abolition" by M. E. O'Brien is a profound analysis of the role of the family in the context of capitalism. The book questions traditional notions of family and highlights the challenges associated with expectations of familial structures. O'Brien examines the history of struggles against the constraints that the family as an institution imposes and analyzes how these structures have evolved in various societal contexts, from the industrial cities of Europe to the plantations of North America. Through the lens of Marx, Black and queer insurrection, and contemporary protest movements, the author illustrates how alternative forms of living and care can be developed. "Family Abolition" not only offers a critical perspective on current family structures but also envisions a future where care can be reorganized in a free society.
