We Are Not Slaves
In the early twentieth century, the brutality of southern prisons became a national scandal. Prisoners toiled in grueling, violent conditions while housed in crude dormitories on what were effectively slave plantations. This system persisted until the 1940s when, led by Texas, southern states adopted northern prison design reforms. Texas presented the reforms to the public as modern, efficient, and disciplined. Inside prisons, however, the transi…
Caging Borders and Carceral States
The Revolution Has Come
The Revolution Has Come achieves a rare feat. Within a compact narrative (only 205 pages) that offers an intimate biography of a social movement, Robyn Spencer manages to weave together a profoundly imbricated story of the ways in which radical politics, personal transformation, gender, and state repression shaped the everyday act of organizational resistance that sustained the Black Panther Party during its sixteen-year history. The book has a c…
Spatializing Blackness
In Rashad Shabazz's Spatializing Blackness, the study of human geography reveals that coercive confinement has rendered urban black Chicago imprisoned across time and space, whether constrained by prison cells or urban projects. In five pithy chapters that read as thought-provoking essays, Shabazz explores how geographies of “carceral power” shape urban Chicago and black masculinity from the Progressive Era to this time of mass incarceration (p. …

We Are Not Slaves
In November 1966 Fred Arispe Cruz sat naked in a darkened cell in the solitary confinement wing of the O. B. Ellis Unit in the Texas state prison system. Cruz was a frequent visitor to solitary, but this particular stay seemed to him truly unjust, as the cause was the guards’ discovery of a copy of the U.S. Constitution in his cell. Cruz had been a prisoner in Texas since 1961, when he arrived at the Harlem Prison Farm on thirty-five-yearand fift…
