“If an index is a map of the writer’s mind, Reed Floarea is the most brilliant of cartographers, precise, thorough, and imaginative.” – Siddhartha Deb, author of Twilight Prisoners: The Rise of the Hindu Right and the Fall of India
I focus on back-of-the-book indexes for trade and academic books. I am especially interested in books on queer theory, disability justice, anarchism, abolition, labor movements, and liberation struggles.
Recent indexes include:
– Skyscraper Jails: The Abolitionist Fight Against Jail Expansion in New York City, by Zhandarka Kurti and Jarrod Shanahan (2025)
– The Land Knows the Way, by Ricardo Levins Morales (2025)
– Sunbelt Capitalism and the Making of the Carceral State, by Kirstine Taylor (2025)
– Twilight Prisoners: The Rise of the Hindu Right and the Fall of India by Siddhartha Deb (2024)
