Race, Gender, and Punishment - From Colonialism to the War on Terror

Informationen zum Autor MARY BOSWORTH is university lecturer in criminology and fellow of Saint Cross College at the University of Oxford. JEANNE FLAVIN is an associate professor in the sociology and anthropology department at Fordham University in New York. Klappentext In this book, Mary Bosworth and Jeanne Flavin bring together twelve original essays by prominent scholars to examine not only the discrimination that is evident, but also the structural and cultural forces that have influenced and continue to perpetuate the current situation. Contributors point to four major factors that have impacted public sentiment and criminal justice policy: colonialism, slavery, immigration, and globalization. In doing so they reveal how practices of punishment not only need particular ideas about race to exist, but they also legitimate them. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments Introduction Part I.
