Description
"A groundbreaking look at how America exported mass incarceration around the globe, from a rising young historian"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
Weber provides a groundbreaking look at how America exported mass incarceration around the globe. From wars to subjugate Native Americans in the mid-nineteenth century to the present, he reveals how the deliberate use of prisons to control restive, subject populations is written into our national DNA. Weber also uncovers a surprising rich history of prison resistance, and creates a powerful future vision of a world without prisons. -- adapted from jacket
