Reflections on Life in Ghettos, Camps and Prisons explores the
relationship between ghettos, camps, places of detention and
prisons with a focus on those people who are confined, encamped,
imprisoned, detained, stuck, or forcibly removed through the lens
of 'stuckness'. From a point of departure in anthropology, with
important contributions from criminology, geography and philosophy,
the chapters explore how life is lived in and across these sites of
confinement by focusing on the tactics of everyday life, while
being mindful of how forms of abjection are constitutive elements
of these sites. Stuckness, from this inter-disciplinary
perspective, is not simply a function of the spatial form it takes;
we need to understand how temporality animates stuckness as an
important dimension of confinement. Death, the ultimate temporal
boundary, emerges as particularly significant in this regard. With
case studies from Palestine, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Northern
Australia, Rwanda, Ivory Coast and Nicaragua, the contributors
focus on the empirical question of how structures of stuckness,
confinement and forced mobility impact on the possibilities of
'making life'. Suggesting new ways of thinking about how
temporality and spatiality intersect and overlap in the lives of
people struggling to manage conditions of stuckness, Reflections on
Life in Ghettos, Camps and Prisons will be of great interest to
scholars of anthropology, geography, criminology and philosophy.
The chapters in this book originally published as a special issue
of Ethnos.
