ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the epistemic and material underpinnings that have given rise to one of the fastest-growing groups in settler-colonial penal contexts: racialized and non-racialized people with disability. Drawing on the work of Indigenous, decolonial, and abolitionist scholars and activists, we demonstrate how justice for this group is contingent upon the progression of an inclusive decolonial abolition. The chapter offers key tools from which to advance this aim: an understanding of the interconnections between forms of domination and oppression; recognition of the continuity of coloniality; and acknowledgement of the transformative possibilities that emerge from the critical revival of Indigenous knowledges and cultural practices in the construction of alternatives to the colonial project.
