Reviewed by: Spiritual Entrepreneurs: Florida's Faith-Based Prisons and the American Carceral State by Brad Stoddard Thomas Thornton Brad Stoddard, Spiritual Entrepreneurs: Florida's Faith-Based Prisons and the American Carceral State (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2021) Recent scholarly studies have made convincing arguments linking the dramatic increases in incarceration in the US since the late 1970s to the expansion of neol…
Compliance and obedience in an Alabama prison faith dorm
This article considers how the Christian obedience of male prisoners inside the 'faith dorm' of a maximum-security prison in the US state of Alabama overlaps with penal compliance. I argue that prisoners' devotion to faith-dorm strictures is not straightforward rule-following but forges social and Christly intimacy. Faith-dorm obedience foregrounds the theological, and it reveals non-church institutional domains as theologically dynamic and capab…

Cultivation of Salmon and other Marine Resources on the Northwest Coast of North America
A Tale of Three Parks
Why have Southeast Alaska Natives enjoyed success in gaining governing authority over cultural resource economies but limited success in gaining co-management over natural resource economies in the region's national parks? This paper hypothesizes that the most successful co-management regimes in the natural resource economy will be those that are constructed according to an emerging cultural resource paradigm, which emphasizes the circulation and…

While the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989 wreaked havoc on Prince William Sound herring populations in the northern Gulf, the southern Gulf also has been impacted, if less severely, by commercial fishing, habitat degradation, and environmental changes over the past century. Just how much Southeast Alaska’s herring have been affected i…

Art. XVI.—The Vernacular Literature and Folklore of the Panjáb
The aim of the present paper is to give some idea of what is known of the ‘Vernacular Literature and Folklore of the Panjáb.’ It lays no claim to be the result of original research. It is, in fact, little more than an epitome of information collected from books, periodicals, and official records, or gathered from the lips of Indian friends. Moreover, the task of collecting information has been greatly simplified by the appearance, within the last…
