Abstract

This article is an edited version of a conversation between Barbara Ransby and Derecka Purnell, two US-based key Black feminist activists on ‘New lines of Black resistance in the US: undoing racial capitalism and the carceral state’, which took place at the ‘New Circuits of Anti-racism Conference’, King’s College London, October 2022 (IRR50). They discuss their own political journeys, shared by many activists today, which they describe as involving building and re-envisioning a desired future, as well as the role of Black feminism and abolition. The conversation, introduced by Chantelle Lewis of Surviving Society and Sophia Siddiqui of Race & Class, unpacks the workings of the carceral state and the specific racial and class targeting of surplus Black workers. Drawing from their experience on the practicalities of organising today, they discuss their commitment to internationalism, the challenges of building genuine coalitions and the need to connect the dots between different systems of domination and violence to understand the functioning of the carceral state, and the centrality of reproductive justice and the fight for bodily autonomy.

连接统治和暴力系统中的点点滴滴:一次对话

本文是Barbara Ransby和Derecka Purnell两位美国黑人女权主义活动家在2022年10月伦敦国王学院举行的“反种族主义新回路会议”上就“美国黑人抵抗的新路线：废除种族资本主义和死刑国家”进行的对话的编辑版（IRR50）。他们讨论了自己的政治旅程，今天许多活动人士都有同感，他们将其描述为建设和重新设想一个理想的未来，以及黑人女权主义和废除奴隶制的作用。这场对话由《幸存社会》的Chantelle Lewis和《种族与阶级》的Sophia Siddiqui介绍，揭示了尸体国家的运作以及针对剩余黑人工人的特定种族和阶级。根据他们在当今组织实践中的经验，他们讨论了他们对国际主义的承诺、建立真正联盟的挑战，以及将不同统治和暴力系统之间的点联系起来的必要性，以了解尸体国家的运作，以及生殖正义和争取身体自主的中心地位。
