S2: Episode 5: Book Group - Ruth Wilson Gilmore's Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation

For our finale, we are doing something different. In this episode, Asha, Carrie, Deondre and Theo have a book group-style discussion of Ruth Wilson Gilmore’s Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation. It contextualizes our season and this sensitive and fought moment in organizing and in history. Gilmore’s activist scholarship over three decades has been deeply influential for abolitionist organizing in the United States and Canada, where we live, and across the world. Over the course of this conversation, we explore the lessons that this body of work has to offer for our current conjuncture. Not least of all, the messy and unending work of building shared questions and narratives across perceived boundaries.
