Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation is a collected volume of essays by Ruth Wilson Gilmore, a leading geographer, prison abolitionist, and organizer associated with critical work on racial capitalism, incarceration, and social movements. Published by Verso and edited with an introduction by Brenna Bhandar and Alberto Toscano, the book gathers writings from more than three decades rather than presenting a single linear monograph. Its genre is best understood as political theory, critical geography, and movement analysis. Gilmore examines prisons, policing, state power, and uneven development through a spatial lens, arguing that carceral systems cannot be understood only as products of individual prejudice or isolated criminal justice policy. The purpose of the collection is to show how abolition names a broader struggle over the organization of life, land, resources, and public institutions. It offers readers conceptual tools for connecting everyday abandonment, racialized violence, and collective efforts to build material conditions for freedom.
