Join us for a conversation with Celeste Winston as we explore her book, “How to Lose the Hounds: Maroon Geographies and a World beyond Policing.” This thought-provoking event centers police abolition and connects slavery-era Black freedom struggles with contemporary efforts to envision a world without policing. Amid rising calls for abolition, her work delves into long-standing ways to secure public safety and community well-being without police.

Winston’s book also examines the intersections of debt and policing in Black communities and highlights Black cooperative economic models rooted in marronage, revealing how these models have historically secured autonomy and safety.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in a vital conversation about reimagining public safety and fostering community resilience. You can purchase her book from the Duke University Press here!
