Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex by Nat Smith, Eric A. Stanley
challenging
informative
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
A great look at how queer and trans people are impacted by the prison industrial complex and how queer liberation and prison abolition are intertwined. If you are looking for an introductory book on this I would absolutely recommend this book. If you are at all interested in prison abolition or queer liberation or working in political advocacy related to either subject, I would recommend this book even more.
