توضیحات
In a compelling exploration of early American society, Jen Manion delves into the intricate relationship between carceral culture and the evolving notions of liberty. The book investigates how shifts in the understanding of work, freedom, and property rights influenced the framing of justice and punishment during a time of transformation. Manion provides a nuanced perspective on how these cultural attitudes intersected with familial structures, highlighting how the prison system reflected and reinforced societal values.
Drawing on a range of historical sources, Manion reveals the ways in which incarceration was not merely a means of punishment but also a reflection of the era's ideals about personal and communal responsibility. The narrative illustrates the tensions between individual liberties and the constraints imposed by societal norms, underscoring the complexity of freedom in a society still grappling with its own identity.
Through vivid storytelling and thorough analysis, the book opens up a dialogue about the legacy of these early carceral practices, encouraging readers to reflect on the implications of America's historical views on justice and liberty.
