Description

Ecologies of Incarceration: Carceral Discard Studies in the Anthropocene offers a compelling exploration of the intersections between carceral systems, environmental concerns, and political ideologies. This interdisciplinary work examines how prison literature and narrative witness reveal the complexities of our contemporary world, shedding light on the systemic issues that link environmental degradation with carceral practices. With a nuanced analysis of how these intertwined systems impact individuals and communities, drawing on diverse examples to illustrate the broader implications of these interactions, the text offers practical insights for activists and community builders while providing a guide for those seeking to understand and address the challenges of our time through collective action and critical engagement.
