HOLIDAY DELIVERY TIMES

For those of you ordering for December 25 or thereabouts, please note that Canada Post recommends ordering by December 8 (this Thursday!) in the United States or December 12 in Canada. Later than that and express post should work up til the 16th in the U.S. and the 21st in Canada - please keep in mind that we're located in Montreal (Eastern standard time) and if you order after 4pm we're unlikely to be able to get to the post office in time.
If you're in Europe, you're out of luck in terms of getting stuff by the 25th - but don't despair, you can still place an order, and your books should arrive in early 2012.
All the above are rough guidelines, not guaranteed.
For more information, check out the Canada Post website.

About the book:
Pathologized, terrorized, and confined, trans/gender non-conforming and queer folks have always struggled against the enormity of the prison industrial complex. The first collection of its kind, Eric A. Stanley and Nat Smith bring together current and former prisoners, activists, and academics to offer new ways for understanding how race, gender, ability, and sexuality are lived under the crushing weight of captivity. Through a politic of gender self-determination, this collection argues that trans/queer liberation and prison abolition must be grown together. From rioting against police violence and critiquing hate crimes legislation to prisoners demanding access to HIV medications, and far beyond, Captive Genders is a challenge for us all to join the struggle.

Au sujet du livre:
Traités comme des malades, terrorise.e.s et confiné-es, les gens trans, au genre non-conforme et queer ont toujours lutté contre l’énormité du complexe prison-industriel. Dans cette première collection en son genre, Eric A. Stanley et Nat Smith réunissent ensemble des anciens prisonnier-es et des gens détenus, des activistes et des universitaires pour offrir de nouvelles façons de comprendre comment la race, le genre, l’habilité et la sexualité se vivent sous le poids écrasant de la captivité. À travers la politique de l’auto-détermination du genre, cette collection affirme que la liberation trans/queer et l’abolition des prisons doivent grandir ensemble. Des émeutes contre la brutalité policière aux critiques des lois contre les crimes haineux, aux revendications des prisonnier.e.s pour des médicaments contre le VIH, et bien plus, Captive Genders est un défi à nous joindre à la lutte.
