[Poverty, By America] makes an impassioned case that instead of tinkering at the margins, we should commit to eradicating poverty altogether. Desmond calls on readers to become “poverty abolitionists” who refuse to accept the status quo. During the worst months of the pandemic, there was a brief period of increased solidarity, and an openness to challenging the habits and structures that constrain our everyday lives. Desmond wants to catch us before, mindful of only our own privilege, we sink back into forgetfulness.
