    Drawing from over twenty years of activism on local and national levels, this striking book offers an organizer's perspective on the intersections of immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition. 
     
     
     
    In the wake of post-9/11 xenophobia, Obama's record-level deportations, Trump's immigration policies, and the 2020 uprisings for racial justice, the US remains entrenched in a circular discourse regarding migrant justice. As organizer Silky Shah argues in Unbuild Walls, we must move beyond building nicer cages or advocating for comprehensive immigration reform. Our only hope for creating a liberated society for all, she insists, is abolition. 
     
     
     
    Unbuild Walls dives into US immigration policy and its relationship to mass incarceration, showing how the prison-industrial complex and immigration enforcement are intertwined systems of repression. Incorporating historical and legal analyses, Shah's personal experience as an organizer, as well as stories of people, campaigns, organizations, and localities that have resisted detention and deportation, Shah assesses the movement's strategies, challenges, successes, and shortcomings. Featuring a foreword by Amna A. Akbar, Unbuild Walls is an expansive and radical intervention, bridging the gaps between movements for immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition.

    This book contains three titles: 
    - The Rise of Nazi Germany: The rise of Nazi Germany is a tale deeply rooted in the tumultuous conditions following World War I, when Germany was thrust into a period of economic collapse, social disarray, and political chaos. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, aimed to punish Germany for its role in the war, imposing harsh reparations and territorial losses that humiliated the nation. This punitive treaty left the German people feeling betrayed, their economy in ruins, and their national pride shattered. The Weimar Republic, established in 1919, was meant to provide a democratic alternative, but it struggled from the outset. 
    - The Holocaust: The devastating events of World War II, particularly the Holocaust, left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. This chapter sets the stage for understanding the roots of hatred that led to one of the most horrific genocides in human history, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of events during the war. The Holocaust was not just an isolated act of mass murder; it was the culmination of a complex set of political, social, and cultural factors that had been brewing for decades.  
    - Nuremberg Trials: The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes committed during the war. These trials were a defining moment in the history of international law and marked the first time that individuals were held accountable on an international stage for atrocities committed by a regime. The trials took place in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949, and were conducted by the Allied powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France—who sought to bring justice to the victims of the Holocaust, forced labor, and widespread destruction caused by the Nazis.

    Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard reflect on the role of the South in America's long descent into Trumpism. In 1974, Southern author John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie, reflecting on the double-edged reality of the South becoming more like the rest of the country and vice versa. Tucker and Gaillard dive deeper into that reality from the time that Egerton published his book until the present. They explore the "birtherism" of Donald Trump and the roots of the racial backlash against President Obama; the specter of family separation on our southern border, with its echoes of similar separations in the era of slavery; as well as the rise of the Christian right, demonstrations in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on the capital—all of which, they argue, have roots that trace their way to the South. But Tucker and Gaillard see another side too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that has given us political leaders like John Lewis, Jimmy Carter, Raphael Warnock, and Stacy Abrams. The authors raise the ironic possibility that the South might lead the way on the path to redemption. They bring a multi-racial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and of democracy under siege.
