“Quite often, big social theorists actually formed their ideas in social movements, or in radical or activist spaces – what sociologists call counter-public spheres.”

Wonderful review of @mfbosworth.bsky.social's "searing ethnographic analysis" Supply Chain Justice:

"For those of us in the U.S. looking to understand the logics behind our own carceral border regime, Bosworth’s account is not just useful; it is essential"
