This book gathers the very best academic research to date on prison
regimes in Latin America and the Caribbean. Grounded in solid
ethnographic work, each chapter explores the informal dynamics of
prisons in diverse territories and countries of the region -
Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, Puerto
Rico, Dominican Republic - while theorizing how day-to-day life for
the incarcerated has been forged in tandem between prison
facilities and the outside world. The editors and contributors to
this volume ask: how have fastest-rising incarceration rates in the
world affected civilians' lives in different national contexts? How
do groups of prisoners form broader and more integrated 'carceral
communities' across day-to-day relations of exchange and
reciprocity with guards, lawyers, family, associates, and assorted
neighbors? What differences exist between carceral communities from
one national context to another? Last but not least, how do
carceral communities, contrary to popular opinion, necessarily
become a productive force for the good and welfare of incarcerated
subjects, in addition to being a potential source of troubling
violence and insecurity? This edited collection represents the most
rigorous scholarship to date on the prison regimes of Latin America
and the Caribbean, exploring the methodological value of
ethnographic reflexivity inside prisons and theorizing how daily
life for the incarcerated challenges preconceptions of prisoner
subjectivity, so-called prison gangs, and bio-political order.

A full colour map showing London in about 1520 - its many churches,
monasteries, legal inns, guild halls, and a large number of
substantial private houses, in the context of the streets and
alleyways that survived the Great Fire and can still be discovered.
Dominating the city are the Tower of London in the east, the old St
Paul's Cathedral in the west and London Bridge in the south. The
city was largely contained within its medieval walls and ditches
but shows signs of spilling out into the great metropolis it was
destined to be. This is a second edition of a map first published
in 2018, incorporating changes to the map as new information has
become available. The map has been the Historic Towns Trust's
number one best seller since publication and has been very well
received. The new edition has a revised cover and illustrations.
A full colour map based on a digitising of a large-scale map of
York surveyed in 1850. The map shows the main medieval and
post-medieval buildings in this attractive and interesting city
including the Minster , York Castle (Clifford's Tower), St mary's
Abbey and the well-known city walls. The map's cover has a short
introduction to the city's history, and on the reverse of the map
an illustrated gazetteer of York's main buildings and sites of
interest. Combining clear cartography and extensive research, this
is a revised version of a map first published in 2012. The new
edition is presented as a cased folding map, to match those of
Winchester, Oxford and Hull in the series. Of interest to
historians and those who know and love York, the map charts the
process of renewal and development which has shaped one of
England's most important cities.
