Black Political Mobilization and the US Carceral State: How Tracing Community Struggles for Safety Changes the Policing Narrative
This review integrates recent scholarship outside of criminology with primary source material from a broadened source base to trace underappreciated histories of political struggle to secure safety and address harm in Black communities. Much of the existing literature in criminology and related social science fields tends to overlook bottom-up sources and the creative safety practices and sites of safety provision that exist and, in so doing, con…
Contesting the State: Embodied Threat and the Emergence of Prisoner Mobilization
Prior studies cast U.S. imprisonment as politically demobilizing. This article complicates that proposition by exploring when, and how, threat under penal confinement leads people to mobilize. Using interviews with currently incarcerated and recently released men across three states, I show that although imprisonment generally fosters political inaction, collective mobilization does arise under certain conditions. First, people in prison mobilize…
Carceral Passages: Coming of Age in Prison America
Imprisonment is recognized as routine in the lives of disadvantaged young men. Scholars center the impact of relatively brief prison experiences on postprison early adulthood, but this approach overlooks the many who are imprisoned for long periods. This study addresses this concern by analyzing interviews with African American and Afro-Latino men who were sentenced as youth and early adults to long prison terms. Prison-like conditions pervaded m…
Young adults of color, urban divestment and political socialization in neighborhoods
While urban inequalities are well studied and understood by scholars, less is known about how these inequalities are localized within a neighborhood context, especially among young adults of color who are most susceptible to the effects of these inequalities. In this paper, we argue that in order to better understand the political development of young adults by race and ethnicity, more attention should be given to how local neighborhoods frame ex…
Transmitting acoustic phenomena and aural illusions: Examples from Athanasius Kircher’s Phonosophia anacamptica
This article continues the preliminary exploration of the sonic observations of Athanasius Kircher, namely, the first book of his Phonurgiæ Nova (1673), the Phonosophia anacamptica (Tronchin, Durvilli and Tarabusi). This book analyzes in particular sound propagation in enclosed spaces. In this work, Kircher also describes the statua citofonica, or ‘talking statue’, in relation to the magical effect created by aural illusion and the famous ancient…
