Section Title:
Prison, Race, and Terror
Section Info:
The United States has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. In addition to the 2.5 million people imprisoned under the criminal justice system, the U.S. government captures even more people into carceral spaces within and beyond its borders. This course examines the U.S. prison regime?manifested not only in the prison as a physical place or institution, but also enacted in active practices that seek to shore up state authority by exercising extraordinary power over inmates. Reading scholarship in critical ethnic studies, particularly regarding U.S. prisons, immigration, and warfare, we will examine three areas of U.S. imprisonment?criminal justice, immigrant detention, and martial imprisonment. We will focus on narratives told from the perspectives of prisoners?in autobiographies, documentary films, and testimonies. Meets with LLS 396, CRN 64012, section NP and GWS 395, CRN 64876, section NP.
