Abstract:Ruth Wilson Gilmore's work has made it possible for abolitionist concepts to resonate widely, enlivening collective imaginations about how life might be lived without mass punishment. But abolition itself remains, for many even on the political left, a perplexing concept: Why "abolish," rather than reform, violent and racist institutions? Why embrace abolition when media and political elites insist that "crime" is the dominant social problem of the moment? And what does abolitionist organizing have to do with struggles that seem far removed from the prison industrial complex and its deadly force?
