A Wall Is Just a Wall - Reiko Hillyer - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Wall Is Just a Wall - Reiko Hillyer - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Throughout the twentieth century, even the harshest prison systems in the United States were rather porous. Incarcerated people were regularly released from prison for Christmas holidays; the wives of incarcerated men could visit for seventy-two hours relatively unsupervised; and governors routinely commuted the sentences of people convicted of murder. By the 1990s, these practices had become rarer as politicians and the media-in contrast to corrections officials-described the public as potential victims who required constant protection against the threat of violence. In A Wall Is Just a Wall Reiko Hillyer focuses on gubernatorial clemency, furlough, and conjugal visits to examine the origins and decline of practices that allowed incarcerated people to transcend prison boundaries. Illuminating prisoners’ lived experiences as they suffered, critiqued, survived, and resisted changing penal practices, she shows that the current impermeability of the prison is a recent, uneven, and contested phenomenon. By tracking the “thickening” of prison walls, Hillyer historicizes changing ideas of risk, the growing bipartisan acceptance of permanent exile and fixing the convicted at the moment of their crime as a form of punishment, and prisoners’ efforts to resist.

The Great Woman Singer - Licia Fiol Matta - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Great Woman Singer - Licia Fiol Matta - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Licia Fiol-Matta traces the careers of four iconic Puerto Rican singers—Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernández, Ernestina Reyes, and Lucecita Benítez—to explore how their voices and performance style transform the possibilities for comprehending the figure of the woman singer. Fiol-Matta shows how these musicians, despite seemingly intractable demands to represent gender norms, exercised their artistic and political agency by challenging expectations of how they should look, sound, and act. Fiol-Matta also breaks with conceptualizations of the female pop voice as spontaneous and intuitive, interrogating the notion of "the great woman singer" to deploy her concept of the "thinking voice"—an event of music, voice, and listening that rewrites dominant narratives. Anchored in the work of Lacan, Foucault, and others, Fiol-Matta''s theorization of voice and gender in The Great Woman Singer makes accessible the singing voice''s conceptual dimensions while revealing a dynamic archive of Puerto Rican and Latin American popular music.

The Great Enterprise - Henry Em - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Great Enterprise - Henry Em - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

In The Great Enterprise , Henry H. Em examines how the project of national sovereignty shaped the work of Korean historians and their representations of Korea''s past. The goal of Korea attaining validity and equal standing among sovereign nations, Em shows, was foundational to modern Korean politics in that it served a pedagogical function for Japanese and Western imperialisms, as well as for Korean nationalism. Sovereignty thus functioned as police power and political power in shaping Korea''s modernity, including anticolonial and postcolonial movements toward a radically democratic politics. Surveying historical works written over the course of the twentieth century, Em elucidates the influence of Christian missionaries, as well as the role that Japan''s colonial policy played in determining the narrative framework for defining Korea''s national past. Em goes on to analyze postcolonial works in which South Korean historians promoted national narratives appropriate for South Korea''s place in the U.S.-led Cold War system. Throughout, Em highlights equal sovereignty''s creative and productive potential to generate oppositional subjectivities and vital political alternatives.

Fencing in Democracy - Margaret E. Dorsey - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Fencing in Democracy - Margaret E. Dorsey - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Border walls permeate our world, with more than thirty nation-states constructing them. Anthropologists Margaret E. Dorsey and Miguel Díaz-Barriga argue that border wall construction manifests transformations in citizenship practices that are aimed not only at keeping migrants out but also at enmeshing citizens into a wider politics of exclusion. For a decade, the authors studied the U.S.-Mexico border wall constructed by the Department of Homeland Security and observed the political protests and legal challenges that residents mounted in opposition to the wall. In Fencing in Democracy Dorsey and Díaz-Barriga take us to those border communities most affected by the wall and often ignored in national discussions about border security to highlight how the state diminishes citizens'' rights. That dynamic speaks to the citizenship experiences of border residents that is indicative of how walls imprison the populations they are built to protect. Dorsey and Díaz-Barriga brilliantly expand conversations about citizenship, the operation of U.S. power, and the implications of border walls for the future of democracy.
