The United States currently has the largest prison population on
the planet. Over the last four decades, structural unemployment,
concentrated urban poverty, and mass homelessness have also become
permanent features of the political economy. These developments are
without historical precedent, but not without historical
explanation. In this searing critique, Jordan T. Camp traces the
rise of the neoliberal carceral state through a series of turning
points in U.S. history including the Watts insurrection in 1965,
the Detroit rebellion in 1967, the Attica uprising in 1971, the Los
Angeles revolt in 1992, and events in post-Katrina New Orleans in
2005. Incarcerating the Crisis argues that these dramatic events
coincided with the emergence of neoliberal capitalism and the
state's attempts to crush radical social movements. Through an
examination of the poetic visions of social movements-including
those by James Baldwin, Marvin Gaye, June Jordan, Jose Ramirez, and
Sunni Patterson-it also suggests that alternative outcomes have
been and continue to be possible.
