Pleasure Activism The Politics Of Feeling Good is a bold, mindset-altering paperback from author and editor adrienne maree brown that reframes social justice as a source of joy rather than another form of work. Across 280 pages, brown argues that politics should be a resounding, erotic yes, inviting readers to awaken desires that make settling for anything less than a fulfilling life impossible.
Drawing on the black feminist tradition, this volume challenges the ground rules of activism and asks how we can make change the most pleasurable human experience. Brown's essays are interwoven with conversations and insights from other feminist thinkers, including Audre Lorde, Joan Morgan, Cara Page, Sonya Renee Taylor, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs, creating a chorus of voices rather than a single lecture.
Together they explore a wide array of subjects, from sex work to climate change and from race and gender to sex and drugs, building new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always carries a complex politics of its own. Building on the success of her popular Emergent Strategy, brown launches a new series of the same name with this book.
