Unbuild Walls: Why Immigrant Justice Needs Abolition - Hardback

FROM ONE OF THE LEADING ORGANIZERS IN THE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS MOVEMENT: While current literature on immigrant detention, mostly by journalists and academics, focuses on revealing the history and problems with US policies, it offers little in the way of strategies for dismantling those policies. Unbuilding Walls brings a new, much-needed abolitionist perspective to those conversations.

FEATURED IN TEEN VOGUE, TRUTHOUT, THE NATION, DEMOCRACY NOW!, AND ELSEWHERE: Silky Shah is well-known among advocates for migrant rights, and her profile as a writer, speaker, and activist continues to grow. This book offers the too-often overlooked but essential perspective of an experienced organizer on the frontlines of the fight, solidifying her place, alongside Robyn Maynard, Derecka Purnell, and Harsha Walia, among today's leading thinkers and dreamers in abolitionist circles.

NECESSARY INTERVENTION INTO HOT-BUTTON ISSUE: As we continue to tackle the harsh political climate faced by migrants and people of color, Unbuilding Walls will speak broadly to readers and activists interested in immigration, criminal justice reform, discriminatory policing, white supremacy, racial capitalism, and community organizing.
