What if we could do better than the family? We need to talk about the family. For those who are lucky, families can be filled with love and care, but for many they are sites of pain: from abandonment and neglect, to abuse and violence. Nobody is more likely to harm you than your family. Even in so-called happy families, the unpaid, unacknowledged work that it takes to raise children and care for each other is endless and exhausting. It could be otherwise: in this urgent, incisive polemic, leading feminist critic Sophie Lewis makes the case for family abolition. Abolish the Family traces the history of family abolitionist demands, beginning with nineteenth century utopian socialist and sex radical Charles Fourier, the Communist Manifesto and early-twentieth century Russian family abolitionist Alexandra Kollontai. Turning her attention to the 1960s, Lewis reminds us of the anti-family politics of radical feminists like Shulamith Firestone and the gay liberationists, a tradition she traces to the queer marxists bringing family abolition to the twenty-first century. This exhilarating essay looks at historic rightwing panic about Black families and the violent imposition of the family on indigenous communities, and insists: only by thinking beyond the family can we begin to imagine what might come after.

En esta dirección, Lewis rastrea la historia de las demandas abolicionistas de la familia, desde el socialismo utópico de Charles Fourier hasta el Manifiesto comunista y los escritos de la bolchevique rusa Alexandra Kollontai; desde la política antifamilia, tan característica de la década de 1960, en feministas radicales como Shulamith Firestone y los homosexuales progresistas, hasta los marxistas queer del siglo XXI. La conclusión no deja de ser radical: solo pensando más allá de la familia podemos comenzar a imaginar lo que podría venir después.
