Abolishing Carceral Society : Abolition

"Beyond border walls and prison cells -- carceral society is everywhere. In a time of mass incarceration, immigrant detention and deportation, rising forms of racialized, gendered, and sexualized violence, and deep ecological and economic crises, abolitionists seek to understand and dismantle interlocking institutions of oppression. These oppressions have many different names and histories and so, to build bridges across a multitude of movements, abolition articulates a range of languages and experiences between and within systems of domination to radically transform the world in which we find ourselves. Abolishing Carceral Society presents the bold and ruthlessly critical voices of today's revolutionary abolitionist movements. This collection of essays, poems, artwork, and interventions edited by the Abolition Collective calls us to the urgent task of reimagining and transforming the world rooted in creative, collaborative, and liberatory struggle"--
