ALL OUR TRIALS: Prisons, Policing, and the Feminist Fight to End Violence
Emily Thuma, Assistant Professor, Gender & Sexuality Studies, UC Irvine
A grassroots history of resistance to gender violence and the carceral state.
During the 1970s, grassroots women activists in and outside of prisons forged a radical politics against gender violence and incarceration. Emily Thuma traces the making of this anticarceral feminism at the intersections of struggles for racial and economic justice, prisoners' and psychiatric patients' rights, and gender and sexual liberation.
