Seller Inventory # 9781137510662īook Description Buch. The essays collected here explore the GIP's resources both for Foucault studies and for prison activism today. To do this, the GIP 'gave prisoners the floor,' so as to hear from them about what to resist and how. In Foucault's words, the GIP sought to identify what was 'intolerable' about the prison system and then to produce 'an active intolerance' of that same intolerable reality. It aimed to facilitate the circulation of information about living conditions in French prisons and, over time, it catalyzed several revolts and instigated minor reforms. The GIP was a radical activist group, extant between 19, in which Michel Foucault was heavily involved.

This book must be reckoned with." - Rashad Shabazz, author of Spatializing Blackness: Architectures of Confinement and Black Masculinity The scholarship is insightful and it deepens our understanding of the problems of mass incarnation and how to work against it. There is something here for the Foucault scholar and prison abolitionist alike. "Active Intolerance pushes our thinking about prisons, prisoners, public intellectuals, and abolition forward. Active Intolerance convinces us that we need to be intolerant of the prison and of the racist and carceral society of which mass incarceration is the extreme manifestation." - Chloe Taylor, University of Alberta, Canada
"While we often hear about the liberal virtue of tolerance, Perry Zurn and Andrew Dilts' powerful and necessary collection makes a compelling case for the active cultivation of intolerance.
Read this volume for contributions that allow us to pace the floor, working on our resistance and conflicted relationships in search of a better future.' Joy James, Williams College, USA, and author of Seeking the Beloved Community "Active Intolerance is an important collection, one that deepens our philosophical and pragmatic understandings of the promises and compromises of contemporary abolitionist advocacy. It also helps us to understand Foucault's abiding interest in collaboration, an interest that is reflected in both his academic and activist work.' - Stuart Elden, University of Warwick, UK Decentering Foucault does more than rightly recognize the role of others in this group. "This is a powerful and compelling set of essays exploring the context and legacy of the Prisons Information Group and how their work might be useful today.
