- Description
- Special issue that features contributions that engage with both the past and the future: both historicizing the deep linkages between gender and state violence and imagining e a different future—one that is free from not only police violence, but also from broader structures of harm that are rooted in a framework of criminalization. A particular strength of this issue is its explicit focus on the multiple—often overlooked—sites of violence perpetrated against Black women and women of color, including, for instance, the child welfare system and the medical industrial complex. Drawing our attention to the ways these systems are deeply interwoven and rooted in the same gender ideology that posits women of color and gender non conforming people as problems to be dealt with, contributions in this issue take as their sites of intervention spaces including medical examination rooms and case managers’ offices.
