Though these acts of large and small-scale resistance to slavery and incarceration are radical and transformative, they have often gone unnoticed. This book is about Black rebellion in captivity and the ways that many of the conventional well-worn constructs of academic political theory render its political dimensions obscure and indiscernible. While Hannah Arendt is an unlikely theorist to figure prominently in any discussion of Black politics, her concepts of \u003ci\u003eworld \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eworldlessness \u003c\/i\u003eoffer an indispensable framework for articulating a theory of resistance to chattel and carceral captivity. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePolitics in Captivity\u003c\/i\u003e begins by taking seriously the ways in which slavery and incarceration share important commonalities, including historical continuity. In Zuckerwise's account of this commonality, the point of connection between enslaved and incarcerated people is not exploited labor, but rather resistance. The relations between the rebellions of both groups appear in the writings of Muhammed Ahmad, Angela Davis, George Jackson, Ruchell Magee, and Assata Shakur, a genre Zuckerwise calls Black carceral political thought. The insights of these thinkers and activists figure into Zuckerwise's analyses of largescale uprisings and quotidian practices of resistance, which she conceives as acts of world-building, against conditions of forced worldlessness. In a moment when a collective racial reckoning is underway; when Critical Race Theory is a target of the Right; when prison abolition has become more prominent in mainstream political discourse, it is now more important than ever to look to historical and contemporary practices of resistance to white domination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Note on Terminology and Method\u003c\/i\u003e   xi\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Politics in Motion   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eFrom Plantations to Prisons   25\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2. \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Carceral Political Thought   44\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eHistorical and Theoretical Erasures of Slave Resistance   64\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Racial Limits of Liberalism   83\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Concept of World   110\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6. \u003c\/b\u003ePolitics in Captivity   135\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7. \u003c\/b\u003eBeyond Democracy: The Attica Prison Uprising   164\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEpilogue \u003c\/b\u003e  185\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  189\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  195\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e  251\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  277\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676822663448,"sku":"9781531507039","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/politics-in-captivity-plantations-prisons-and-world-building-paperback-softback-9781531507039","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
