Reviews
Fiercely rendered, <i>Compulsory</i> is the book for our moment. This book requires readers to remap the circuits that bind schools to prisons and the state and centers how communities--including young men who are locked up and their loved ones--negotiate, and often shatteringly resist, these powerlines. Situating the 'prison classroom' within a carceral landscape punctuated by deeply racialized and heteropatriachal practices of removal and premature death, Sabina E. Vaught's necessary and poetic writing moves activist scholarship into needed and new terrains and pushes readers to mourn, to analyze, and to build struggles for radical freedom that leave no one behind. --Erica R.
