Global Lockdown is the first book to apply a transnational feminist framework to the study of criminalization and imprisonment. The distinguished contributors to this collection offer a variety of perspectives, from former prisoners to advocates to scholars from around the world. The book is a must-read for anyone concerned by mass incarceration and the growth of the prison-industrial complex within and beyond U.S. borders, as well as those inter…
Maroon Abolitionists

By foregrounding the experiences of transgender and gender non-conforming activists, the author makes visible the reality of gender complexity and multiplicity within women's prisons and the anti-prison movement. The article explores the activists' motivations for involvement, and barriers to partic…

Rethinking Global Justice: Black Women Resist the Transnational Prison-Industrial Complex
This article explores the role of Black women in the U.S. and Canadian anti-prison movements and argues that anti-prison organizing is a critical site of anti-globalization activism. In the context of domestic economic restructuring, aggressive military interventions abroad and the global spread of neoliberal socio-economic policy agendas, increasing attention has been paid to the multifaceted global justice movement. At the same time, commentato…
Celling Black Bodies: Black Women in the Global Prison Industrial Complex
The past two decades have witnessed an explosion in the population of women prisoners in Europe, North America and Australasia, accompanied by a boom in prison construction. This article argues that this new pattern of women's incarceration has been forged by three overlapping phenomena. The first is the fundamental shift in the role of the state that has occurred as a result of the neo-liberal globalization. The second and related phenomenon is …

Other Kinds of Dreams: Black Women's Organizations and the Politics of Transformation
(Re)constructing multiracial blackness: Women`s activism, difference and collective identity in Britain
This article analyses the (re)construction of black identity as a multiracial signifier shared by African, Asian and Caribbean women in Britain, from the framework of recent social movement theory. The collective identity approach calls attention to naming as a strategic element of collective action, but has overlooked the experiences of black women at the intersection of multiple systems of oppression. A focus on the process of constructing blac…
'Other Kinds of Dreams': Black Women's Organisations and the Politics of Transformation
Sociological accounts of political activism in African Caribbean and Asian \ncommunities in Britain have largely overlooked the role of black women as agents and \nhave contributed toward an image of passivity, apathy and exclusion. This thesis \nexamines the black women's organisations which have emerged since the early 1970s. \nDrawing on unpublished materials from over 30 organisations, participant observation \nat conferences and meetings and…
En‐gendering anti‐racism: Towards a politics of social transformation
As we approach the new millennium, African, Asian and Caribbean activists in Britain appear to be poised at the proverbial fork in the road. Do we march into a future marked by a pluralism of ethnicities, identities and interests? Or do we continue to hark bak to the golden days of black struggle -- when the movement was united in deed, action and purpose -- in the frail hope that outdated or failed notions of black unity will be revitalized?\nTh…
