In her exciting new book, Marisol LeBron traces the rise of
punitive governance in Puerto Rico over the course of the twentieth
century and up to the present. Punitive governance emerged as a way
for the Puerto Rican state to manage the deep and ongoing crises
stemming from the archipelago's incorporation into the United
States as a colonial territory. A structuring component of everyday
life for many Puerto Ricans, police power has reinforced social
inequality and worsened conditions of vulnerability in marginalized
communities. This book provides powerful examples of how Puerto
Ricans negotiate and resist their subjection to increased levels of
segregation, criminalization, discrimination, and harm. Policing
Life and Death shows how Puerto Ricans are actively rejecting
punitive solutions and working toward alternative understandings of
safety and a more just future.
