"An original, smart, and provocative volume, GlobalLockdown makes a compelling case for the convergence of abolitionist prison and anti-globalization work in the age of global capitalism, neoliberalism, and U.S. economic and political hegemony. An urgent wakeup call for scholars, activists, and social justice workers, this volume crafts a visionary and wide-ranging anti-racist, transnational feminist praxis. A critical book for these critical times." -- Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Professor of Women's Studies and Dean's Professor of the Humanities, Syracuse University, and author of Feminism WithoutBorders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity"Julia Sudbury's powerful and persuasive edited volume, Global Lockdown, outlines in striking detail how prisons have become the international warehouses for oppressing women. Sudbury and her contributors have established in this work an exceptional resource for understanding the new political economy of criminal injustice that today undermines democratic institutions and disempowers women of color across the Global South." -- Manning Marable, Professor of Public Affairs, History, and African-American History and Director, Center for Contemporary Black History, Columbia University, and author of The Great Wells of Democracy: Race in AmericanLife"At last, a wonderfully innovative and incisive critique of global and racialized patterns of women's imprisonment. Pathbreaking in the breadth of its geographical, theoretical, and political coverage, GlobalLockdown is a 'must-read' for anti-imprisonment and anti-globalization activists and researchers." -- Pat Carlen, Honorary Professor of Criminology, Keele University, and author of Women and Punishment: TheStruggle for Justice"This collection of original essays signifies a major breakthrough in the literature on imprisoned women, linking globalization and incarceration trends. The essays raise serious questions about the viability of prisons, even as states and corporations are building more of them. The accounts of women's strategies of resistance are instructive, and give hope that justice can be realized." -- Karlene Faith, Professor Emerita, School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University, activist, and award-winning author
