This state-of-the-field essay explores decolonizing feminisms through consideration of four recent books: the twentieth-anniversary edition of Aileen Morton Robinson's Talkin' Up to the White Woman (2021), White Tears/Brown Scars (2020) by Ruby Hamas, Rehearsals for Living (2022) by Robyn Maynard and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Becoming Kin (2022) by Patty Krawec. It examines such themes as white feminist complicity with colonial white supremacist violence, the collective survival wisdom of Indigenous and Black women, abolition, and the revolutionary potential of becoming kin. It also makes clear that accountability and action are fundamental components of becoming accomplices in the war against dominant social systems of oppression
