Many visuals presented by a question of when, from when it happens to you‘s artwork, to aquestionofwhen.com, social art posts, and so forth, feature not-so-cryptic background text from the Globe and Mail 2021 Book of the Year On Property: Policing, Prisons, and the Call for Abolition by Dr. Rinaldo Walcott (he/him).
On Property… explores the long shadow cast by slavery and shows how present-day abolitionists continue the work of their forebears, including critically examining the relationship between policing and property.
Dr. Walcott is Professor and Chair of Africana and American Studies at the University of Buffalo in New York (prev. Women and Gender Studies and Cinema Studies Institutes at the University of Toronto).
While you’re shopping for a question of when goodies, why not grab a copy of On Property... and have your mind blown? Visit AK Press or anywhere you get your books.
when it happens to you virtual screening is December 4th (get tickets), and the album is out on vinyl, CD, cassette, digital HD, and Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 surround sound on December 8th (pre-order now at a question of when’s shop or Bandcamp).
Knowledge is power.
