How can activists and scholars work from an abolitionist, no borders agenda to foster the understanding that freedom of movement and freedom to inhabit are necessarily connected and important for creating a more just and free world? Join editors Jenna M. Loyd, Matt Mitchelson, and Andrew Burridge in discussion of BEYOND WALLS AND CAGES: PRISONS, BORDERS, AND GLOBAL CRISIS BEYOND WALLS AND CAGES challenges the idea that borders and prisons create safety, security, and order. Instead, walls and cages fortify wealth and power inequalities, racism, gender and sexual oppression. They rely on, and mobilize, fear and the promise of security to naturalize the abandonment of increasing numbers of people who have been criminalized and subject to increased policing of daily life.
