Queer as in Abolition Now
Queer as in Abolition Now!" introduces the special issue "Queer Fire: Liberation and Abolition." The issue brings together scholars, artists, and writers working at the intersections of queer theory, critical race studies, and radical activist movements to consider prison abolition as a project of queer liberation and queer liberation as an abolitionist project. Pushing beyond observations that prisons disproportionately harm queer people, the co…
Scenes of resurrection
This essay considers the fraught possibilities for resistance to anti-black violence in contemporary performative acts of protest. I turn to Saidiya Hartman’s work in Scenes of Subjection and Fred Moten’s dialogue with her in In the Break as a theoretical foundation to specifically think for the problems and possibilities of resistance in performances of “die ins.” Ultimately I argue that the die-in, through the simultaneously ephemeral and trace…
James Baldwin and the Anti-Black Force of Law
There has been a recent resurgence in attention to James Baldwin as academics, public intellectuals, filmmakers, and curators engage with his work through the lens of the Movement for Black Lives. Continuing this turn, I read Baldwin as a theorist of the law and, ultimately, an abolitionist.

Slavery's Ghosts and the Haunted Housing Crisis
In light of (re)new(ed), interdisciplinary interest in the history of capitalism—a focus captured in Edward E. Baptist’s recent book, The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism (2014)—this essay reads Toni Morrison’s 2008 novel A Mercy as a key text for considering the history of capitalism as central to conceptions of circum-Atlantic modernity. Scholarship on the novel has already established the rich ways of rea…
