A meticulous and exhaustive accounting of the total economic
devastation wreaked on Black communities by mass incarceration with
an action guide for vital reparations. Stolen Wealth, Hidden Power
is a staggering account of the destruction wrought by mass
incarceration. Finding that the economic value of the damages to
Black individuals, families, and communities totals $7.16
trillion-roughly 86 percent of the current Black-White wealth
gap-this compelling and exhaustive analysis puts unprecedented
empirical heft behind an urgent call for reparations. Much of the
damage of mass incarceration, Tasseli McKay finds, has been
silently absorbed by families and communities of the
incarcerated-where it is often compensated for by women's invisible
labor. Four decades of state-sponsored violence have destroyed the
health, economic potential, and political power of Black Americans
across generations. Grounded in principles of transitional justice
that have guided other nations in moving past eras of state
violence, Stolen Wealth, Hidden Power presents a comprehensive
framework for how to begin intensive individual and institutional
reparations. The extent of mass incarceration's racialized harms,
estimated here with new rigor and scope, points to the urgency of
this work and the possibilities that lie beyond it.
Holding On reveals the results of an unprecedented ten-year study
of justice-involved families, rendering visible the lives of a
group of American families whose experiences are too often lost in
large-scale demographic research. Using new data from the
Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting, and
Partnering-a groundbreaking study of almost two thousand families,
incorporating a series of couples-based surveys and qualitative
interviews over the course of three years-Holding On sheds rich new
light on the parenting and intimate relationships of
justice-involved men, challenging long-standing boundaries between
research on incarceration and on the well-being of low-income
families. Boldly proposing that the failure to recognize the
centrality of incarcerated men's roles as fathers and partners has
helped to justify a system that removes them from their families
and hides that system's costs to parents, partners, and children,
Holding On considers how research that breaks the false dichotomy
between offender and parent, inmate and partner, and victim and
perpetrator might help to inform a next generation of public
policies that truly support vulnerable families.
