Beskrivning
Stephen Hartnett merges the evocative power of poetry with scholarly research to produce both a genre-bending critique of the prison industrial complex and an innovative new method of qualitative research. Based on ten years of teaching in, writing about, and protesting at prisons across America, Harnett weaves together the hopes of prisoners, their families, and friends with the stories of activist communities struggling against the death penalty, the war on drugs, and a culture that treats prisoners as commodities. Full of materials from philosophers, poets, and historians, rich in personal detail, and written as a passionate and urgent call for justice, Incarceration Nation shows the power of ethnographic poetry to give voice to the hopes and horrors of a generation confronted by the mass-production of criminality.

Recensioner i media

Incarceration Nation speaks from a big heart, an informed mind, and engaged action. The book is large enough to hold the 'hope and terror' required as we investigate prison. Hartnett honors the names and words of real people living their lives behind' bars, includes the speech of those we pay to guard them, shares what his own eyes have seen, and calls on thinkers and poets from Rousseau to Eugene Debs, from Whitman to Peter Dale Scott. There's even room for music. Without avoiding terror, this book uses words like grace, thankful, and joy—human words born from the choice Hartnett has made: to love.
