Introduction

Radicals and Conversation is a monthly podcast from Pluto Press, one of the world's leading, independent, radical publishers. We're joined today by Francois Vershez, author of a feminist theory of violence,. Avilla Sarah Day and Shanice Octavia McBean, who are the co-authors of the forthcoming book, Abolition Revolution. The panel discusses carceral feminism, racial capitalism, and the structural violence of the state. They also talk about abolitionist politics and formulating alternative approaches to questions of protection and justice that reject the logic and infrastructure of carcerality.
