Left of Black | A World Beyond Policing with Celeste Winston on Black Maroons

Описание: Dive Into the Archive: https://leftofblack.org/
For Black communities, the relationship with police has always been fraught and dangerous, far from the ideal of "to serve & protect." Policing Black people has often led to violent excesses of anti-Black law enforcement, from slavery until today. But in the past, Black ancestors across the Americas were able to practice marronage: the ability to escape from slavery to create a community hidden from the powers that be, realizing a vision of Black society beyond the reach of the plantation system. How have 20th century examples of marronage offered a glimpse into a what life could be with police abolition? Dr. Celeste Winston, critical geographer and award-winning author, joins host Dr. Mark Anthony Neal to discuss her new book, "How to Lose the Hounds: Maroon Geographies and a World Beyond Policing," published by ‪@DukePress‬.
