Three years ago Eric Stanley & Nat Smith released a tour de force collection of writings that challenge the state & calls for prison abolition. This is a must-read for any artist/activist/warrior dedicated to anti-colonialism/ decolonization mindsets that deteriorate human nature. Right now, Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex is 50% off at AK Press, with all proceeds going to providing access of the book in prison libraries. Political activist/role model Angela Davis had this to say about the book: Captive Genders is an exciting assemblage of writings—analyses, manifestos, stories, interviews—that traverse the complicated entanglements of surveillance, policing, imprisonment, and the production of gender normativity. Focusing discerningly on the encounter of transpersons with the apparatuses that constitute the prison industrial complex, the contributors to this volume create new frameworks and new vocabularies that surely will have a transformative impact on the theories and practices of twenty-first century abolition. —Angela Y. Davis, professor emerita, University of California, Santa Cruz
