Carceral Liberalism: Feminist Voices against State Violence: Dissident Feminisms
Editat de Shreerekha Pillai Cuvânt înainte de Demita Frazier Contribuţii de Cassandra D Little, Shailza Sharma, Joanna Eleftheriou, Beth Matusoff Merfish, Francisco Arguelles Paz y Puente, Autumn Elizabeth, Zarinah Agnew, D Coulombe, Tria Blu Wakpa, Jennifer Musial, Maria F Curtis, Marta Romero-Delgado, Alka Kurianen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2023
Carceral liberalism emerges from the confluence of neoliberalism, carcerality, and patriarchy to construct a powerful ruse disguised as freedom. It waves the feminist flag while keeping most women still at the margins. It speaks of a post-race society while one in three Black men remain incarcerated. It sings the praises of capital while the dispossessed remain mired in debt.
Shreerekha Pillai edits essays on carceral liberalism that continue the trajectory of the Combahee River Collective and the many people inspired by its vision of feminist solidarity and radical liberation. Academics, activists, writers, and a formerly incarcerated social worker look at feminist resurgence and resistance within, at the threshold of, and outside state violence; observe and record direct and indirect forms of carcerality sponsored by the state and shaped by state structures, traditions, and actors; and critique carcerality. Acclaimed poets like Honorée Fanonne Jeffers and Solmaz Sharif amplify the volume’s themes in works that bookend each section.
Cutting-edge yet historically grounded, Carceral Liberalism examines an American ideological creation that advances imperialism, anti-blackness, capitalism, and patriarchy.

Recenzii
“A uniquely valuable intervention. Those of us--and I would say that is the majority of us who live our lives ‘in freedom’--are importuned by the book’s address, to wake up, to care, because what we perceive as our ‘freedom’ made available, so we think, as a consequence of living in the crucible of liberal ideals and beliefs--is inextricably bound up with the logics of incarceration.”--Fawzia Afzal-Khan, author of Siren Song: Understanding Pakistan Through its Women Singers
