Excellent- More about Carceral Liberalism: Feminist Voices against State Violence
Carceral liberalism is a powerful ruse disguised as freedom that advances imperialism, anti-blackness, capitalism, and patriarchy. Shreerekha Pillai edits essays on carceral liberalism that examine feminist resurgence and resistance within, at the threshold of, and outside state violence.

Carceral liberalism is a potent facade masquerading as freedom that stems from the intersection of neoliberalism, carcerality, and patriarchy. It claims to be a champion of feminism while sidelining the majority of women. It purports to be a post-race society, yet one in three Black men remains incarcerated. It extols the virtues of capitalism, while the dispossessed struggle under the weight of debt.
Shreerekha Pillai, the editor of essays on carceral liberalism, continues the legacy of the Combahee River Collective and the countless individuals who have been inspired by its vision of feminist solidarity and radical liberation. Academics, activists, writers, and a formerly incarcerated social worker explore feminist resurgence and resistance within, at the threshold of, and outside state violence. They examine and document direct and indirect forms of carcerality sponsored by the state and shaped by state structures, traditions, and actors. They also critique carcerality.
Acclaimed poets like Honorée Fanonne Jeffers and Solmaz Sharif enhance the themes of the volumes with their works, which serve as bookends to each section.
Carceral Liberalism, while being cutting-edge, remains firmly rooted in historical context. It delves into an American ideological construct that promotes imperialism, anti-blackness, capitalism, and patriarchy.
