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 everywhere seek to understand and radically dismantle
the interlocking institutions of oppression and transform the world
in which we find ourselves. These oppressions have many different
names and histories and so, to make the impossible possible,
abolition articulates a range of languages and experiences between
(and within) different systems of oppression in society today.
Abolishing Carceral Society presents the bold voices and inspiring
visions of today's revolutionary abolitionist movements struggling
against capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism, ecological crisis,
prisons, and borders. In the first of a series of publications, the
Abolition Collective renews and boldly extends the tradition of
"abolition-democracy" espoused by figures like W.E.B. Du Bois,
Angela Davis, and Joel Olson. Through study and publishing, the
Abolition Collective supports radical scholarly and activist
research, recognizing that the most transformative scholarship is
happening both in the movements themselves and in the communities
with whom they organize. Abolishing Carceral Society features a
range of creative styles and approaches from activists, artists,
and scholars to create spaces for collective experimentation with
the urgent questions of our time. Through essays, interviews,
visual art, and poetry, each presented in an accessible manner, the
work engages with the meaning, practices, and politics of
abolitionism in a range of historical and geographical contexts,
including: prison and police abolitionism, border abolition,
decolonization, slavery abolitionism, antistatism, antiracism,
labor organizing, anticapitalism, radical feminism, queer and trans
politics, Indigenous people's politics, sex worker organizing,
migrant activism, social ecology, animal rights and liberation, and
radical pedagogy.
