Abolishing Poverty: New Book by Dr Gutiérrez Garza

The department is thrilled to announce the release of a new book co-authored by Dr Ana Gutiérrez Garza, recently published by University of Georgia Press.

Abolishing Poverty argues for a project of relationality that refuses the whiteness of liberal poverty studies and instead centers critiques of the poverty relation and political futures disavowed under liberal governance. In disrupting poverty thinking, the author collective opens space for diverse frameworks for understanding impoverishment and articulating antiracist knowledges and political visions. The book explores new infrastructures of possibilities and political solidarities rooted in accountable relations to each other and from flights to the future that animate diverse communities.

The book is a uniquely collaborative endeavour, and features Ana’s research with Mexican migrants in Oklahoma. Congratulations Ana!
