Reviews

Incarcerated Resistance offers a moving portrait of prison witness, a kind of activism that, while rare, is important for what it can teach us about the nexus of U.S. imperialism, identity and power. Stanger's research exemplifies the best of feminist-activist scholarship, presenting with the utmost care what it is that justice action prisoners know and do while deftly theorizing the fraught enterprise of contesting state violence from a position of privilege. -- Chandra Russo, author of Solidarity in Practice: Moral Protest and the US Security State
