Gathering 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. Abolition 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. Edited with an
introduction by Brenna Bhandar and Alberto Toscano.
