Prison narratives are an invaluable source for the study of
minority positions or discourses of otherness in US culture.
Particularly in the discourses of the US criminal justice system,
politics and the visual media, criminals are represented as the
other, from the perspectives of race, sexuality and moral
inferiority. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this
compelling study analyzes how American prison narratives reflect
and produce ideologies of masculinity in the United States. For the
first time, this book puts various subgenres of prison narratives
into a dialogue in order to demonstrate a polar dichotomy in the
institutional and public discourses of criminality. It draws
together fascinating materials that have rarely, if ever, received
careful attention and examines popular culture to demonstrate the
profound ways in which implicit understandings of prison life shape
all Americans, and their reactions to people both incarcerated and
not.
