Their letters soon grew into a powerful exchange on the subject of where we go from here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rehearsals is a captivating book, part debate, part dialogue, part lively and detailed familial correspondence between two razor-sharp writers convening on what it means to get free as the world spins into some new orbit. In a genre-defying exchange, the authors collectively envision the possibilities for more liberatory futures during a historic year of Indigenous land defense, prison strikes, and global-Black-led rebellions against policing. By articulating to each other Black and Indigenous perspectives on our unprecedented here and now, and the long-disavowed histories of slavery and colonization that have brought us to this moment in the first place, Maynard and Simpson create something new: a vital demand for a different way forward, and a poetic call to dream up new ways of ordering earthly life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maynard, Robyn, Simpson, Leanne Betasamosake, Wilson Gilmore, Ruth, Kelley, Robin D.
