Abolition Feminism and the Politics of Reproduction

S&F Online issue 21.1
Available here.

Guest editors Sarah Haley and Emily Thuma gather contributions that examine how gendered, racialized, and classed forms of life are both sustained and constrained by carceral systems, and how abolitionist praxis reimagines and rebuilds the reproduction of the social otherwise. Abolition feminism here operates as analytic and an ethic: a refusal of state violence with a commitment to building alternative infrastructures of care, safety, and survival.
