Para amantes e lutadorxs
Neste texto, Dean Spade explora as relações não monogâmicas desde o ponto de vista das políticas trans e queer, com base na perspectiva situada na própria experiência e na das comunidades das quais faz parte. Com essa intersecção em mente, discute a influência do capitalismo na cultura de exclusividade sexual e defende que os relacionamentos não monogâmicos podem ser um campo de experimentação crucial para as dissidências sexuais e de gênero.

It Is Easier to Hate Gay Shame than to Hate a Murderous World
Gay Shame is a direct-action collective that has been active in the San Francisco Bay Area for over twenty years. The group has never had any funding, and its members have met almost every week for decades and produced a wide range of interventions articulating an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, abolitionist queer politics. The author has been following the work of Gay Shame since its beginnings, engaging in related work in other cities and so…
Police abolition
An ''against'' and a ''for'': abolitionist reckonings with the state Geo Maher's A World Without Police is an unflinching excavation of our punitive and carceral present.It demands that we understand the institution of policing in its totality and assess the fullness of the damage it has done, as well as how much better the world could be if the police were rendered obsolete.To read this book is to feel both the joyful rage of the long hot summer…
Abolition Infrastructures
Over the past two decades, transformative justice has gained momentum as an organized effort to answer contemporary abolitionism's thorniest question: How can a society handle the problem of harm without resorting to punishment? The movement has sought to develop responses to harm and violence that reject retribution and instead emphasize accountability, repair, care, and attention to the systemic roots of violence. In large part because the move…
Leurs lois ne rendront pas nos vies plus sûres
Cet article souligne qu'au cœur de l'engagement abolitionniste, on doit placer un travail de prise de conscience : le complexe industriel carcéral et l'État se donnent la main pour nous convaincre qu'être « inclues » (en tant que minorités), c'est disposer de lois qui criminalisent nos agresseur·es (misogynes, transphobes, racistes, validistes). Mais à renforcer ainsi les forces de la punition, on ne fait qu'intensifier, en réalité, la logique de…
Close the prisions! Open the borders! How Abolition is Shaping Queer and Trans Politics
Queer Militarism
Does advocating for queer and trans people to serve in the US military move the struggle for queer and trans justice forward toward liberation by improving the lives of queer and trans soldiers and increasing societal acceptance of queer and trans people? Or does it legitimize US military imperialism and increase the likelihood of more queer and trans people being abused and traumatized in the US military? This article consists of a conversation …
Solidarity Not Charity
This article argues that, in the face of worsening conditions from climate change, enhanced border enforcement, a growing wealth gap, housing crises, and policing, social movements should focus on expanding mutual aid strategies. Mutual aid projects directly address survival needs, mobilize large numbers of people to participate in movements actively rather than solely participating online or through voting, and offer spaces to practice new socia…
Normal Life
Introduction : rights, movements, and critical trans politics -- Trans law and politics on a neoliberal landscape -- What's wrong with rights? -- Rethinking transphobia and power : beyond a rights framework -- Administrating gender -- Law reform and movement building -- Conclusion: "this is a protest, not a parade
Norms and Normalization
The following chapter charts critical encounters with norms and normalization in feminist analysis and praxis. We pay particular attention to how anticapitalist, critical race, and decolonial feminist methodologies interrogate norm production and maintenance across a range of social, cultural, and economic heteropatriarchal formations. Drawing from the work of Michel Foucault, we consider norms and normativity in terms of both disciplinary subjec…
Exile and Pride
Sex, Gender, and War in an Age of Multicultural Imperialism
This essay examines the case of Chelsea Manning in the larger context of both U.S. imperial war and the ways in which gender and sexuality are deployed in service of colonialism, racism, and militarism. Situating the Manning case alongside two contemporaneous events, the attempted prosecution of Julian Assange on rape charges and Hillary Clinton’s much-lauded “gay rights are human rights” speech, we argue that Manning’s trans identity has challen…
Intersectional Resistance and Law Reform
Critical race theory generally and intersectionality theory in particular have provided scholars and activists with clear accounts of how civil rights reforms centered in the antidiscrimination principle have failed to sufficiently change conditions for those facing the most violent manifestations of settler colonialism, heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, and xenophobia. These interventions have exposed how the discrimination principle's…
Being Together, After Nonprofitization
Being Together, After Nonprofitization Dean Spade (bio) Many of the problems Jo Freeman identified in her 1970 essay, "The Tyranny of Structurelessness," persist in today's feminist struggles and have been exacerbated by nonprofitization. Concentration of leadership, elitism, lack of accountability, and lack of transparency in social movement formations have worsened in the past four decades as hierarchical, staffed nonprofits have become the mos…
We areBorn in Flames
This essay introduces the dossier, situating Lizzie Borden's 1983 film Born in Flames in the contemporary political context. After offering a brief synopsis of the film, the essay argues that Born in Flames serves as both a document of feminist, anti-racist social movements and as inspiration for modeling future political work. The essay then briefly introduces the pieces that comprise the dossier

Queering Prison Abolition, Now
We occasionally publish "Currents" in American Quarterly, which are intended as timely forms of writing that contribute and intervene in contemporary issues of importance to scholars in American studies. It is our hope that "Currents" will provide a forum for debates over the directions of the field and how the interdisciplinary field of American studies defines itself and is defined by others. The following is a conversation among the intellectu…
Exile and Pride
First published in 1999, the groundbreaking Exile and Pride is essential to the history and future of disability politics. Eli Clare's revelatory writing about his experiences as a white disabled genderqueer activist/writer established him as one of the leading writers on the intersections of queerness and disability and permanently changed the landscape of disability politics and queer liberation. With a poet's devotion to truth and an activist'…
