Abolition from the South: From Carceral Feminism to Abolition as a Lived Practice

Presentation by Saida Hodzic (Cornell University) in the framework of the colloquium Anthropological Crossroads

In this talk Saida Hodžić takes her book The Twilight of Cutting: African Activism and Life after NGOs as a point of departure for theorizing carceral feminism and abolition from a decolonial perspective. Based on ethnographic research on criminalization and law enforcement at the margins of the Ghanaian state, she shows that abolition is more than a visionary, future-oriented project. Abolition exists in the here and now. It is grounded in lived practice, mutually entangled social worlds, and immanent critique.
