Eric A. Stanley and Nat Smith bring together current and former prisoners, activists, and academics for a new understanding of how race, gender, ability, and sexuality are lived under the crushing weight of captivity. Through a politic of gender self-determination, this collection argues that trans\/ queer liberation and prison abolition must be grown together. From rioting against police violence and critiquing hate crimes legislation, to prisoners demanding access to HIV medications, and far beyond, Captive Genders is a challenge for us all to join the struggle. This expanded second edition includes a new foreword from CeCe McDonald and essays by Chelsea Manning, Kalaniopua Young, and Janetta Louise Johnson and Toshio Meronek. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCaptive Genders is an exciting assemblage of writings--analyses, manifestos, stories, interviews--that traverse the complicated entanglements of surveillance, policing, imprisonment, and the production of gender normativity. Focusing discerningly on the encounter of transpersons with the apparatuses that constitute the prison industrial complex, the contributors to this volume create new frameworks and new vocabularies that surely will have a transformative impact on the theories and practices of twenty-first century abolition. --Angela Y. Davis, professor emerita, University of California, Santa Cruz \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors to Captive Genders brilliantly shatter the assumption that the antidote to danger is human sacrifice. In other words, for these thinkers: where life is precious life is precious. --Ruth Wilson Gilmore, author of \u003ci\u003eGolden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCaptive Genders is at once a scathing and necessary analysis of the prison industrial complex and a history of queer resistance to state tyranny. By analyzing the root causes of anti-queer and anti-trans violence, this book exposes the brutality of state control over queer\/trans bodies inside and outside prison walls, and proposes an analytical framework for undoing not just the prison system, but its mechanisms of surveillance, dehumanization and containment. --Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, author of\u003ci\u003e Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Stanley \u003c\/b\u003eis a postdoctoral fellow at UCSD.
