She argues this expansion was driven by surpluses - of land, labor, capital and state capacity - and used to manage problems like job less, unused land and extra public money. Prisons became a social fix, targeting Black and working class communities in rural areas most. The book shows how racism, the economy and punishment are inter-connected, and highlights the grassroots resistan

Policing the Crisis: Mugging, the State and Law and Order
Policing the Crisis: Mugging, the State and Law and Order
Policing the Crisis (1978) examines how the UK government, media, and police constructed a moral panic around “mugging” in the 1970s to legitimize harsher policing and authoritarian state measures. The book argues that policing shifted from consensual to coercive, targeting marginalized groups—especially Black youth—to manage the social fallout of economic decline. Law enforcement is shown as central in maintaining order and protecting dominant class power during periods of perceived crisis.

Dismantling Green Colonialism: Against the 'Anti-Imperialists Par Excellence'
Hamza Hamouchene critiques Western leftist intellectuals who, in his view, arrogantly dictate the "correct" path to anti-colonial and anti-imperialist politics. He argues that such attitudes mirror colonialist condescension and hinder genuine solidarity. Hamouchene emphasizes the importance of inclusive, respectful dialogue and warns against divisive polemics that undermine collective resistance efforts in challenging times.
