Imperfect victims : criminalized survivors and the promise of abolition feminism / by Goodmark, Leigh,1969-Author(DLC)n 2001104786;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-268) and index."A profound, compelling argument for abolition feminism--to protect criminalized survivors of gender-based violence, we must dismantle the carceral system. Since the 1970s, anti-violence advocates have worked to make the legal system more responsive to gender-based violence. But greater state intervention in cases of intimate partner violence, rape, sexual assault, and trafficking has led to the arrest, prosecution, conviction, and incarceration of victims, particularly women of color and trans and gender-nonconforming people. Imperfect Victims argues that only dismantling the system will bring that punishment to an end. Amplifying the voices of survivors, including her own clients, abolitionist law professor Leigh Goodmark deftly guides readers on a step-by-step journey through the criminalization of survival. Abolition feminism reveals the possibility of a just world beyond the carceral state, which is fundamentally unable to respond to, let alone remedy, harm. As Imperfect Victims shows, abolition feminism is the only politics and practice that can unwind the indescribable damage inflicted on survivors by the very system purporting to protect them."--.

The women's house of detention : a queer history of a forgotten prison / by Ryan, Hugh,1978-author.;

Includes bibliographical references.The pre-history of the Women's House of Detention (1796-1928) -- Psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers-the prison's -- Eyes, ears, and record keepers -- Where the girls are: Greenwich Village & lesbian life -- Firing Rosie the Riveter -- The long tail of the drug war -- Flickers of pride -- Conformity & resistance -- The gay crowds -- Queer women get organized -- The city's search for the perfect victim -- Gay lib and Black power."The Women's House of Detention, Greenwich Village's most forbidding and forgotten queer landmark, stood from 1929 to 1974, imprisoning tens of thousands from all over New York City. The little-known stories of the queer women and trans-masculine people incarcerated in this building present a uniquely queer argument for prison abolition. The "House of D" acted as a nexus, drawing queer women down to Greenwich Village from every corner of the city. Some of these women-Angela Davis, Grace Paley, Andrea Dworkin, Afeni Shakur-were famous, but the majority were working-class people, incarcerated for the "crimes" of being poor and improperly feminine. Today, approximately 40 percent of people in women's prisons identify as queer; in earlier decades, the percentage was almost certainly higher. Historian Hugh Ryan explores the roots of this crisis of queer and trans incarceration, connecting misogyny, racism, state-sanctioned sexual violence, colonialism, sex work, and the failures of prison reform. At the same time, The Women's House of Detention highlights how queer relation and autonomy emerged in the most dire of circumstances: from the lesbian relationships and communities forged through the House of D, to a Black socialist's fight for a college education during the Great Depression, to the forgotten women who rioted inside the prison on the first night of the Stonewall Uprising nearby. This is the story of one building and so much more: the people it caged, the neighborhood it changed, and the resistance it inspired"--

Unbuild walls : why immigrant justice needs abolition / by Shah, Silky,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Part I: Immigration in the era of mass incarceration -- The US prison boom and the growth of immigrant detention -- Obama, criminalization, and the limits of reform -- Deterring the crisis: Prosecutions, prisons, and the United States-Mexico border -- Part II: Organizing for immigrant justice -- From legalization to racial justice: The evolution of a movement -- Private prisons and the demand to defund -- Communities not cages -- Part III: Making abolition -- Abolitionist approaches to system change -- Beyond "abolish ICE"."In the wake of post-9/11 xenophobia, Obama's record-level deportations, Trump's immigration policies, and the 2020 uprisings for racial justice, the US remains entrenched in a circular discourse regarding migrant justice. As organizer Silky Shah argues in Unbuild Walls, we must move beyond building nicer cages or advocating for comprehensive immigration reform. Our only hope for creating a liberated society for all, she insists, is abolition. Unbuild Walls dives into US immigration policy and its relationship to mass incarceration, from the last forty years up to the present, showing how the prison-industrial complex and immigration enforcement are intertwined systems of repression. Incorporating historical and legal analyses, Shah's personal experience as an organizer, as well as stories of people, campaigns, organizations, and localities that have resisted detention and deportation, Shah assesses the movement's strategies, challenges, successes, and shortcomings. Featuring a foreword by Amna A. Akbar, Unbuild Walls is an expansive and radical intervention, bridging the gaps between movements for immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition." --
