[His] text is thus not only a valuable contribution to Black feminist thought and queer studies but also a model for abolition itself.\" -- Cameron Clark * GLQ *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is an excellent book for our times, an era provoking fresh outrage over children in cages and the brutal treatment of bodies fleeing violence by states that claim to honor human rights. It is a time to bathe in the spirit of many of the authors Dillon presents. \u003ci\u003eFugitive Life\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling reminder of the logics of the carceral state as they have been unfolding over centuries, and the inevitable — if frequently intangible —logics of resistance that also result.\" -- Keally McBride * Politics and Gender *\u003cbr\u003e“In \u003ci\u003eFugitive Life\u003c\/i\u003e, Stephen Dillon uses the writings of fugitive activists to analyze how gender, race, and sexuality were deployed in the development of a new system of power in 1970: the neoliberal-carceral state. The book is beautifully written and a significant intervention that is sure to become a foundational text in a number of academic fields.” -- Erin Mayo-Adam * Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics *\u003cbr\u003e“Beautifully written, \u003ci\u003eFugitive Life \u003c\/i\u003eis a key text for readers in American studies, criminology, queer studies, Black studies, and—keenly—for those of us who count ourselves as ongoing scholars of, and participants in, radical social and political movements.” -- Melanie Brazzell and Erica R.
