Scholars,
Yesterday in class, as we were discussing Carruthers’s work, we had brief discussion of Robin D. G. Kelley’s “Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination,” and I claimed that the current Abolition Movement represented such a case.
In an article in today’s New York Times, an article, “Is Prison Necessary? Ruth Wilson Gilmore Might Change Your Mind,” Gilmore, geographer and prison abolitionist, elaborates on this issue.
