Authors are being sought to contribute to a new 2-volume book series that will examine historical and contemporary issues surrounding the formal and informal detention / incarceration of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States, as well as critical policy-based factors that influence racial /ethnic incarceration rates. Specifically, the goal of the series is to examine these issues from a critical perspective – unique, intellectually challenging book chapters are encouraged.
Although there are several texts addressing the prison system, there a few that not only examine racial / ethnic "interactions" with the prison system, while including varying groups and incorporating larger social issues. Below, you will find the remaining chapters for which authors are being sought (the titles are designed to present the topics and can be changed according to the author):
