| Summary: | "We are living in what might be considered a 'carceral world'. Practices, performances, spatialities, imaginaries, and experiences of incarceration are widespread. Carceral Worlds offers a necessary and timely contribution to understanding these realities of our globalized present. The book interrogates the central implication of prison systems in population management and expands our perspectives of security, imprisonment and confinement to account for the historical and social constructions that drive the connections between prisons and the capitalist system. Crucially, it addresses the intersection of the carceral beyond traditional spaces of incarceration and imprisonment to interrogate, for example, infrastructures of labor; religion; the prolonged effects of colonial heritage on the everyday; ecological concerns; homelessness; migrant detention; and city management as part of the production of our 'carceral world'. The volume brings together work on an international scale with case studies from across the Global North and Global South. Bringing together multidisciplinary contributions that speak to the themes of the conditions, experiences and imaginaries of carcerality, this book will be essential reading for those interested in questions of carcerality in relation to the management, control, and securitization of populations around the globe"-- |
