Fugitive Anthropology
A poetics of living rebellion
In this experimental year-in-review article, we center the everyday, ongoing, and emergent rebellions of livingness against imbricated structures of antiblackness and Indigenous erasure that shape carceral global landscapes to think with the premise that "liberation is an already existing and unfinished and unmet possibility" (McKittrick 2021, 13).
