In Upper Bunkies Unite: And Other Thoughts On the Politics of Mass
Incarceration author Andrea James takes a critical look at the
politics and policies resulting in mass incarceration within the
United States. From her professional experience as a former
criminal defense lawyer, and her personal experience as a formerly
incarcerated woman, James provides a more accurate portrait of who
is in our prisons and the destructive outcome of politics that
support a failed drug war and exhaust resources on law enforcement
and incarceration. James demonstrates the need for a shift toward
community wellness initiatives to replace incarceration and a
complete overhaul of the current U.S. criminal justice framework
from one of punishment and wasted human potential, to a system
focused on social justice and healing.
This book tells the story of one of the first sustained campaigns
for justice, land rights and self-determination and provides a
superb example of how to share history with a wide audience.
Extended collaboration was the crucible for the skilful melding of
scholarship, performance and Aboriginal knowledge. Using the highly
popular verbatim-theatre, professional actors bring to life those
who testified at the 1881 Inquiry, allowing them to speak to a
contemporary audience. In this way, some of the Aboriginal
witnesses are rescued from dusty archives, and are again given
voice. They include renowned Wurundjeri leader, William Barak.
Adept at writing, skilled at negotiation and resistance, and
rightly proud of their culture and their success in their farming
ventures, it is impossible not to be inspired by the men, women and
children who petitioned the colonial Government. Here they are
heard alongside their non-Aboriginal allies -- and the Aboriginal
Protection Board members who opposed them. Coranderrk derives from
the Ilbijerri Theatres production, with extensive consultation with
descendants of the Coranderrk community.Belvoir Theatre in Sydney
will feature the play during December 2013 and January 2014. Using
Aboriginal peoples first-person testimonies (members of the Kulin
clans and beyond) and the non-Aboriginal witnesses, Coranderrk
reveals how the process of working between history and theatre can
promote education. An historical introduction provides a window
onto the events which led to the establishment of the Coranderrk
community, the protest campaign that sparked the 1881 Parliamentary
Inquiry, and the consequences and aftermath of that Inquiry. In
doing so it provides a deeper and more accurate understanding of
our shared colonial past. Supplementing the historical introduction
and extracts are biographies of the witnesses, and a range of
historical images and stills from the theatrical production.
