Placing critical race theory, queer theory, critical prison studies, and antiprison activism in conversation with an archive of Black Atlantic literatures of slavery, Jess A. Goldberg reveals how literary studies can help undo carceral epistemologies embedded in language and poetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Goldberg examines poetry, drama, and novels from the nineteenth century through the twenty-first-such as William Wells Brown’s \u003ci\u003eThe Escape, \u003c\/i\u003eAngelina Weld GrimkÉ’s \u003ci\u003eRachel, \u003c\/i\u003eToni Morrison’s \u003ci\u003eA Mercy, \u003c\/i\u003eand Claudia Rankine’s \u003ci\u003eCitizen\u003c\/i\u003e-to consider literature and literary scholarship’s roles in shaping societal paradigms. Focusing on how Black Atlantic literature disrupts the grammar of law and order, they show how these texts propose nonlinear theories of time that imagine a queer relationality characterized by care rather than inheritance, property, or biology.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbolition Time\u003c\/i\u003e offers a framework for thinking critically about what is meant by the term \u003ci\u003ejustice\u003c\/i\u003e in the broadest and deepest sense, using close reading to inform the question of abolishing prisons or the police and to think seriously about the most fundamental questions at the heart of the abolitionist movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Preface \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction: Justice Is Not an Event \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 1.
