Informationen zum Autor Zoe A. Colley is lecturer in American history at the University of Dundee. Klappentext In this book, Zoe Colley follows civil rights activists inside the southern jails and prisons to explore their treatment and the differ¬ent responses that civil rights organisations had to mass arrest and imprisonment. While some found imprisonment to be an energising or inspiring experience and celebrated jail-going as liberating and honourable, others struggled to find a positive value. By drawing together the narratives of many individuals and organisations, Colley places imprisonment at the forefront of civil rights history and shows how these attitudes to¬ward arrest continue to impact contemporary society and shape strategies for civil disobedience. Zusammenfassung An exploration of the impact on imprisonment of individuals involved in the Civil Rights Movement as a whole.
