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, \u003ci\u003eAbolition Geography\u003c\/i\u003e 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\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\" id=\"P1201_FLAPTEKST_GEHEEL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-10-20\"\u003ePublished: 30\/06\/2024\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9781839761713\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 512 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan id=\"P1201_FORMAAT\" class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003e271 x 139 x 36\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003eWeight: 454g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Bookworm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53140373012817,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/7020\/1169\/files\/9781839761713.jpg?v=1772012929","url":"https:\/\/thebookworm.eu\/products\/abolition-geography-essays-towards-liberation","provider":"The Bookworm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
