Where would we turn for justice? Do we need to have laws? Punishment? These questions are not just the preoccupation of an abolitionist pipedream. Their answers exist already if only we know where to look. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe Make Our Own Justice\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the reader to communities worldwide that resolve harms and conflicts without looking to the state or judiciary. The book explores several locations where alternative forms of justice, peace-keeping, and adjudication occur. With a particular focus on indigenous and women-led movements from across Mexico, Argentina, Rojava, and the USA, Marina Sitrin looks at how each came to be and the theoretical and political underpinnings of the process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book allows the reader to reflect on how the seeds of these alternative forms of justice and adjudication have been planted and nurtured over time--often over decades--and to consider the possibilities for other communities and regions to produce something similar. \u003ci\u003eWe Make Our Own Justice\u003c\/i\u003e offers an invaluable resource, fostering optimism and open-mindedness as we seek to transform our neighborhoods, groups, and communities into abolitionist spaces in theory and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marina Sitrin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745348513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745348513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Marina Sitrin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807135453439,"sku":"9780745348513","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b64cdbfb-e4d9-444e-9bd6-117810cd5856.jpg?v=1745378644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-make-our-own-justice-marina-sitrin-9780745348513","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
