Mariame Kaba On Justice In America

Justice in America interviews Mariame Kaba. If you are interested in the topics of prison abolition and restorative justice, this is a nice overview and point of departure (key figures and canonical texts are also mentioned should you want to explore further). I've been teaching Angela Davis's Are Prisons Obsolete for years now -- I've been foregrounding abolition and RJ ever more as a way of maintaining sanity and mobilizing resistance in Trumpmerica -- but Kaba has been truly inspiring to me lately at a time when few otherwise have been. Her book recommendations are wonderful. Her "Hope Is A Discipline" has really gotten me through on more than one occasion this last year especially.
