{"product_id":"abolition-geography","title":"Abolition Geography","description":"Gathering together Ruth Wilson Gilmore's work from over three decades, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Abolition Geography\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; 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.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Abolition Geography\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; 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, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Abolition Geography\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; undoes the identification of abolition with mere decarceration, and reminds us that freedom is not a mere principle but a place.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Edited with an introduction by Brenna Bhandar and Alberto Toscano.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57571049767294,"sku":"NW9781839761713","price":14.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781839761713.jpg?v=1781778567","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/abolition-geography","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
