Pagebound-coded books
A list of books that embody the kindness, joy, and community, along with the curiosity for radical justice, deep analysis, and deconstruction of systems of oppression that I see on this platform. In honor of PB’s birthday (Aug 13, I've been told)! I welcome everyone to leave a book + their explanation for why they feel it embodies PB energy in the comments; there’s no right or wrong answer, I would love to see everyone's perspectives!
Transformative Justice
Books that provide solutions to navigating and resolving harm without / in opposition to the presence of carcerality (i.e. the interconnected systems of police, prisons, criminalization, punishment, surveillance, etc). In other words, it is a form of abolition + decolonization in practice re: accountability.
As an introduction, here is a primer to transformative justice.
Feedback and recommendations welcome!
