Racial Capitalism Now
Selected Writings on Race and Difference
United in Struggle
The Covid-19 pandemic marks a turning point in our collective history. The virus, in combination with longstanding social and economic cleavages, has produced a health crisis of epic proportions. T
Forgotten Places and the Seeds of Grassroots Planning
America's Johannesburg
Golden Gulag
Since 1980, the number of people in U.S. prisons has increased more than 450%. Despite a crime rate that has been falling steadily for decades, California has led the way in this explosion, with what a state analyst called "the biggest prison building project in the history of the world." Golden Gulag provides the first detailed explanation for that buildup by looking at how political and economic forces, ranging from global to local, conjoined t…
Geografía de la abolición y el problema de la inocencia
This paper analyzes prisons geographies in the United States, under the light of racial capitalism. The Afro-American geographer departs from the thesis that contemporary prisons are extractive, that is, they extract people, and, when, in the best of cases, they do not end by being one figure within the high rates of early deaths, then they are thrown out, deprived of their right to be themselves —A dynamics stimulating the rapid flow of money. F…
The Struggle Within
“More militancy!” is an oftheard demand of the left. It is the subject of position papers and propaganda, of academic study and debate. We lament militancy of days past: the wildcat strikes, the mass demonstrations, the fighting movements. But we must not forget that the militancy of yesteryear was not without casualties. In particular, we have inherited the legacy of militants of the recent past. We have our martyrs: some, like Black Panthers Ge…
What Is to Be Done
What Is to Be Done? Ruth Wilson Gilmore (bio) I'm going to need your help tonight, as I always do. At some point I'm going to do this. You'll remember. I move a lot when I talk, but I'll only once do this [raises arms over her head]. And when I do this, you will say, other than your gender or transgender or other identity of choice, woman-man, person, human, lover, masculine-center, whatever you're going to say, make it fit, in two syllables, "Ot…
The role of geography in public debate
Many geographers work on matters of great relevance for the issues facing society, but geography is rarely invoked in public debates over matters of contemporary concern. As a result, geographical perspectives are often missing from public discourse, and outmoded conceptions of geography are reinforced. This forum considers the importance and challenge of addressing this state of affairs. Four distinguished geographers who have been involved in d…
Fatal Couplings of Power and Difference
To study the complexities of race and geography, research and analysis should center on the fatally dynamic coupling of power and difference signified by racism. The author considers briefly the theoretical and methodological implications of key frameworks geographers used during the past century to account for racialized power differentials. To illustrate the political, economic, and cultural capacities that historical materialist geographical i…
You Have Dislodged a Boulder
The unprecedented expansion of US prisons during the final quarter of the twentieth century has produced many contradictions. Prisoners' families, stifled by sclerotic legal channels, are organizing to demand political remedies to the growing use of prisons as catch‐all solutions for social problems. One such group, Mothers Reclaiming Our Children, developed in the midst of crisis‐riven 1990s Los Angeles. The group has negotiated maternal, race, …
