Books!

[unusualmusic_lj_archive]

So I asked Mama dearest for cash instead of kind this Christmas so that i could get some books. (The woman has a bad habit of buying me perfumes I don't wear for gifts) And behold the loot that cometh:

Thinking Class: Sketches from a Cultural Worker

This one has been under consideration for months. Highway Robbery: Transportation Racism and New Routes to Equity

Unfortunately, these last three were sent to an old address so they will hopefully be forwarded.


I have been coveting this one for a WHILE!When the Prisoners Ran Walpole: A True Story in the Movement for Prison Abolition

Women of Ideas: And What Men Have Done to Them

Gender and Genius: Towards a Feminist Aesthetics

On the coveted list?Arbitrary Justice: The Power of the American Prosecutor

EDIT: Our Enemies in Blue and Instead of Prisons

HEE!

These look really good (and I'm with you on perfumes, which are typically chemicals you don't want on your skin anyway).

Prison abolition? You know, I think it's a testament to how much the whole prison concept dominates American society that I never even stopped to think about what it would be like if it weren't there (or at least, in the form we currently know it).
