Also in Seattle for the MLA convention are the editors and many contributors to a major new anthology of writing addressing the intersections of race, gender, ability, class, and sexuality with the prison industrial complex to argue for trans/queer liberation and prison abolition. Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex (AK Press), edited by Eric A. Stanley and Nat Smith, is a collection of writing by current and former prisoners, activists, and academics. Joining Eric A. Stanley tonight are contributors Lori Saffin, Ralowe T. Ampu, and Toshio Meronek. "Captive Genders is at once a scathing and necessary analysis of the prison industrial complex and a history of queer resistance to state tyranny." – Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore. "An exciting assemblage of writings—analyses, manifestos, stories, interviews—that traverse the complicated entanglements of surveillance, policing, imprisonment, and the production of gender normativity ... the contributors to this volume create new frameworks and new vocabularies that surely will have a transformative impact on the theories and practice of twenty-first century abolition." – Angela Y. Davis.
