This book will explore how to build and sustain fulfilling relationships within the relationship anarchy framework. Well discuss the history of relationship anarchy, give you guidance on building intimate relationships with all kinds of people in your life, and look at the ways that relationship anarchy can support a fulfilled and joyous community. This book will offer philosophical, historical, sexological, and anthropological context as well as practical tools for building nuanced, complex, and expansive relationships that traverse and defy social norms.

Tuck has written a book that shakes the table and holds accountable the way white people write and talk about sex and relationships. Its a great example of what a strategic use of power can produce when we divest in colonial legacies of supremacy.

The words in this book landed in me like the most intimate revolution. What a potent antidote to the systems of oppression that want to keep us disconnected from each other
