Description

Neoliberal Confinements: Social Suffering in the Carceral State
edited by Alessandro De Giorgi & Benjamin Fleury-Steiner

This special issue aims to provide a cartography of some of the forms of social suffering experienced by marginalized and oppressed populations in the US carceral state. The contributors extend their gaze beyond the prison and its ancillary institutions to include spaces of confinement produced at the crossroads of racialized carceral regimes, hyper-policed neighborhoods, and widening zones of social abandonment.
