本文基于2018年在圣安德鲁斯大学举办的尼尔·史密斯讲座。它考虑种植园的过去/未来的萨佩洛岛，格鲁吉亚，其中一个海洋岛屿形成一个群岛沿着美国东南海岸。我通过咸水Geechee的谁居住在那里至少自1803年以来废奴主义者的努力工作，以更好地了解我们如何能够动员土地和财产的解放政治，并产生工作，以修复和治愈通过奴役和持续流离失所所做的暴力的公地。我编织在一起的一系列历史线索，以更好地相互联系的思想，废除民主和废除地理，并延长废除生态的概念作为一个战略概念，以连接欧洲中心为基础的政治生态与黑人地理的解放传统。
This paper is based on the 2018 Neil Smith Lecture presented at the University of St Andrews. It considers the plantation past/futures of Sapelo Island, Georgia, one of the Sea Islands forming an archipelago along the US Southeastern coast. I work through the abolitionist efforts of the Saltwater Geechee’s who have resided there since at least 1803 to better understand how we can mobilise an emancipatory politics of land and property and to produce commons that work to repair and heal the violence done through enslavement and ongoing displacement. I weave together a series of historical threads to better situate linked ideas of abolition democracy and abolition geography, and to extend the notion of abolition ecology as a strategic notion to connect Eurocentric based political ecologies with the emancipatory tradition of Black geographies.
