"We Deserve Better": Contesting Racialized Sexual and Gender Policing
This talk traces the New Orleans grassroots organization BreakOUT!'s "We Deserve Better" campaign (2010-2013) to reign in the everyday racial and gender profiling and state sanctioned sexual violence of the New Orleans Police Department. This case highlights the centrality of policing racialized gender and sexuality in the contemporary carceral state and how struggles over everyday criminalization have served as a pivot point for the future of post-Katrina New Orleans.
Find Dr. Pelot-Hobbs's new book, Prison Capital: Mass Incarceration and Struggles for Abolition Democracy in Louisiana, here at the publisher's website (link) and here at Amazon (link).
