Building Abolition: Decarceration and Social Justice explores the
intersections of the carceral in projects of oppression, while at
the same time providing intellectual, pragmatic, and undetermined
paths toward abolition. Prison abolition is at once about the
institution of the prison, and a broad, intersectional political
project calling for the end of the social structured by settler
colonialism, anti-black racism, and related oppressions. Beyond
this, prison abolition is a constructive project that imagines and
strives for a transformed world in which justice is not equated
with punishment, and accountability is not equated with caging.
Composed of sixteen chapters by an international team of scholars
and activists, with a Foreword by Perry Zurn and an Afterword by
Justin Piche, the book is divided into four themes: * Prisons and
Racism * Prisons and Settler Colonialism * Anti-Carceral Feminisms
* Multispecies Carceralities. This book will be of interest to
undergraduate and postgraduate students, activists, and scholars
working in the areas of Critical Prison Studies, Critical
Criminology, Native Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Black Studies,
Critical Race Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Critical
Animal Studies, with particular chapters being of interest to
scholars and students in other fields, such as, Feminist Legal
Studies, Animal Law, Critical Disability Studies, Queer Theory, and
Transnational Feminisms.
