“This outstanding book written by Amanda R. Williams and Paislee House truly captures what total liberation is: an interdependent global movement to fight against all forms of oppression and domination. I would like to add
that total liberation is not about punishment. Yes, one might say that goes without saying because of the value of anarchism within total liberation. Conflicting enough, many anarchists have promoted cancel culture, public shaming, intimidation, and punishment of the oppressor and those within the movement. Williams and Paislee advance the movement for total lib-
eration by discussing the complexities of privilege rooted out of oppression. Oppressor privilege is grounded in domination and supremacy, without the two, oppressor privilege is not possible. This book is written beautifully in an accessible, storytelling, feminist, decolonizing manner and dives into an intersectional discussion on what oppressor privilege is and how to dismantle it. “
