Slaves of the State: Black Incarceration from the Chain Gang to the Penitentiary

by Dennis Childs - £17.00  University of Minnesota Press (2015)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780816692415 | ISBN 10: 0816692416

In Slaves of the State Dennis Childs argues that the incarceration of black people and other historically repressed groups in chain gangs, peon camps, prison plantations, and penitentiaries represents a ghostly perpetuation of chattel slavery.
 
With more than 2.3 million people in the country’s jails, prisons, and immigrant detention centers, Childs exposes slavery as a continuing social reality of U.S. empire.
