Border Abolition Now
Autor Sara Riva, Simon Campbell, Brian Whitener, Kathryn Medienen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2024
“Outstanding ... A rich, hopeful, and indispensable guide [that] shows us how the world could be borderless, flourishing, free”—Luke de Noronha, co-author, Against Borders: The Case For Abolition
“Groundbreaking. This is learning at its most powerful, reframing thinking and activism with the aim of building justice”—Bridget Anderson, Professor, University of Bristol
Borders must be abolished. Borders produce and are produced by carceral, racist, classist, sexist, and xenophobic regimes. Border Abolition Now demands transformative politics to dismantle these systems of oppression.
Taking the key tenets of abolitionism and applying them to the debate around borders, the contributors bring a rich understanding of the history and context of carceral and policing systems. Heralding from different countries, disciplines, and activist struggles, they show how their theories are being realized through feminist decolonial praxis, and how personal experiences of borders and organizing against them inform abolition.
Expanding the debate to areas including asylum, detention camps, mobility, and climate change, Border Abolition Now offers new tools for anyone working to defend freedom of movement for all.
Sara Riva is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Spanish National Research Council and the University of Queensland. Simon Campbell is an activist-researcher focusing on border infrastructures, state violence and abolitionist struggles against the border regime. Brian Whitener is an Associate Professor of Spanish at the University at Buffalo and author of Crisis Cultures: The Rise of Finance in Mexico and Brazil. Kathryn Medien is a Lecturer in Sociology at The Open University.

Recenzii
'This groundbreaking collection shows us, analytically and in practice, how no borders and prison and police abolition are shared political projects. It is learning at its most powerful, reframing thinking and activism with the aim of building justice. A must read.'
Bridget Anderson, Professor of Migration, Mobilities and Citizenship, University of Bristol
'This outstanding collection of essays provides a rich, hopeful, and indispensable guide to border abolition. Written by and for thinkers, dreamers and organisers, this book shows us how the world could be otherwise: borderless, flourishing, free.'
Luke de Noronha, co-author, Against Borders: The Case For Abolition
'This is an urgent and necessary book to get us from the multiple crises we face to a world made for all. It documents the violence of immigration regimes and border controls while also shining a ray of light to guide us on our paths to a better way of living with one another.'
Nandita Sharma, Professor of Sociology, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, co-founder of Eating in Public
