Abstract
ABSTRACT Centering the carework of dismantling technologies of oppression which aim to silence, exploit, and execute us – oftentimes to a point where repair is impossible – Syedullah and Leiner present lessons and activities from their co-created popular education curriculum, “The Manual for Liberating Survival,” a movement leadership training for revolutionary organizing designed to connect abolitionist activists and academics. This article draws lessons from the Manual that focus on healing justice and abolitionist protocols for decarcerating care within movements for social justice. The paper traces not only the transgenerational effects of anti-Black violence, community separation, and racial trauma but also the protocols of repair and resistance Black gender-non-conforming, queer, and trans women are seeding within movement space.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
