Radical Nonfiction Book Group with Carlo
Discusses Solidarity with Children: An Essay Against Adult Supremacy by Madeline Lane-McKinley

Led by former Greenlight bookseller Carlo, our Radical Nonfiction Book Group meets monthly to read and discuss nonfiction titles related to the issues of history, politics, and the promise of a better world, just around the corner!

For March, the group discusses Madeline Lane-McKinley's Solidarity with Children, a revolutionary feminist case for child liberation, a utopian project that helps us imagine ways to build insurgent, collective forms of care. Blending personal and political reflection with cultural analysis, Lane-McKinley examines the history of childhood as a system of private property in capitalism, showing how the idea of the child has been weaponized in the service of white supremacy and empire; and argues that what we need is a politics of solidarity with children, one that sees children as comrades in our struggle for a better future.
