Our history has always been contraband : in defense of Black studies / by Kaepernick, Colin,1987-editor.(CARDINAL)609349; Kelley, Robin D. G.,editor.(CARDINAL)265214; Taylor, Keeanga-Yamahtta,editor.(CARDINAL)625005;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 180-186).'Since its founding as a discipline, Black Studies has been under relentless attack by social and political forces seeking to discredit and neutralize it. Our History Has Always Been Contraband was born out of an urgent need to respond to the latest threat: efforts to remove content from an AP African American Studies course being piloted in high schools across the United States. Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G. Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Our History Has Always Been Contraband brings together canonical texts and authors in Black Studies, including those excised from or not included in the AP curriculum. Our History Has Always Been Contraband excerpts readings that cut across and between literature, political theory, law, psychology, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, queer and feminist theory, and history. This volume also includes original essays by editors Kaepernick, Kelley, and Taylor, elucidating how we got here, and pieces by Brea Baker, Marlon Williams-Clark, and Roderick A. Ferguson detailing how we can fight back. To read Our History Has Always Been Contraband is to be an outlaw for liberation. These writings illuminate the ways we can collectively work toward freedom for all--through abolition, feminism, racial justice, economic empowerment, self-determination, desegregation, decolonization, reparations, queer liberation, cultural and artistic expression, and beyond." -- back cover.

Dismantling mass incarceration : a handbook for change / by Dharia, Premaleditor(CARDINAL)895041; Forman, James,1967-editor(CARDINAL)345970; Hawilo, Mariaeditor(CARDINAL)895040;
Includes bibliographical references."America's criminal justice system perpetuates profound social and racial harms. But despite growing recognition of its destructiveness, the vast machinery of the carceral state remains very much intact. How can its damage be undone? In this pathbreaking reader, three of the nation's leading advocates for change--Premal Dharia, Maria Hawilo, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Forman Jr.--provide us with tools to move from critique to action and from despair to hope. Dismantling Mass Incarceration surveys various approaches to confronting the carceral state, exploring a wide range of bold but practical interventions. Rather than prescribing solutions, the book offers a forum for discussions--and disagreements--about how the work of police, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, and prisons can be reformed, rethought, or even abolished. The books contributors include noted figured such as Angela Y. David, Clint Smith, and Larry Krasner, as well as local organizers, scholars, lawyers, judges, and people who have been incarcerated. Dismantling Mass Incarceration is an invaluable guide for anyone who wishes to understand America's cultire of punishment--and hasten its end." --Back cover.
