Books Best Canadian Nonfiction of 2021 From plantation rebellion to
prison labour's super-exploitation, Walcott examines the
relationship between policing and property. That a man can lose his
life for passing a fake $20 bill when we know our economies are
flush with fake money says something damning about the way we've
organized society. Yet the intensity of the calls to abolish the
police after George Floyd's death surprised almost everyone. What,
exactly, does abolition mean? How did we get here? And what does
property have to do with it? In On Property, Rinaldo Walcott
explores the long shadow cast by slavery's afterlife and shows how
present-day abolitionists continue the work of their forebears in
service of an imaginative, creative philosophy that ensures freedom
and equality for all. Thoughtful, wide-ranging, compassionate, and
profound, On Property makes an urgent plea for a new ethics of
care.
