{"product_id":"abolition-geography-essays-towards-liberation","title":"Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation","description":"The first collection of writings from one of the foremost contemporary critical thinkers on racism, geography and incarceration\n\nGathering together Ruth Wilson Gilmore’s work from over three decades, Abolition Geography presents her singular contribution to the politics of abolition as theorist, researcher, and organizer, offering scholars and activists ways of seeing and doing to help navigate our turbulent present.\n\nAbolition Geography moves us away from explanations of mass incarceration and racist violence focused on uninterrupted histories of prejudice or the dull compulsion of neoliberal economics. Instead, Gilmore offers a geographical grasp of how contemporary racial capitalism operates through an “anti-state state” that answers crises with the organized abandonment of people and environments deemed surplus to requirement. Gilmore escapes one-dimensional conceptions of what liberation demands, who demands liberation, or what indeed is to be abolished. Drawing on the lessons of grassroots organizing and internationalist imaginaries, Abolition Geography undoes the identification of abolition with mere decarceration, and reminds us that freedom is not a mere principle but a place.\n\nEdited with an introduction by Brenna Bhandar and Alberto Toscano.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1839761709\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1839761709.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bhandar, Brenna|Toscano, Alberto|Gilmore, Ruth Wilson\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
