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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited with an introduction by Brenna Bhandar and Alberto Toscano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dotters Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44915335364901,"sku":"9781839761713","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2167\/5269\/products\/9781839761713.jpg?v=1682186043","url":"https:\/\/dottersbooks.com\/products\/abolition-geography-essays-towards-liberation-by-ruth-wilson-gilmore","provider":"Dotters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
