Good, short book (more like an essay) on abolition with glimpses from a Canadian context. Not as focused on property as I expected given the title, especially towards the end. I sometimes wished more detail were given, but at least there's plenty of references to follow up with. I enjoyed the writing overall but it's definitely not the simplest read.

"From plantation rebellion and Indigenous land theft to prison labour's super-exploitation, Walcott examines the relationship between policing and property. That a man can lose his life for passing a fake $20 bill, when we know that our economies are flush with fake money, says something damning about the ways in which we've organized society. At the nexus of the current discourse on policing and violence is the unavoidable fact that criminal codes value property more than human life, and thus substantive change isn't possible until we rethink the very idea of private property itself."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
