Unbuild walls : why immigrant justice needs abolition
Silky Shah (Author), Amna Akbar
Drawing on over twenty years of local and national activism, this striking book offers an organizer's perspective on the intersections of immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition. Unbuild Walls shows how the prison industrial complex and immigration enforcement are intertwined systems of repression. Diving into the history of the immigrant justice movement, Silky Shah explores the campaigns that have resisted detention and deportation. As she argues, we must move beyond building nicer cages in advocating for comprehensive immigration reform and instead embrace abolition. -- Back cover
