The Carceral Network in Ireland : History, Agency and Resistance Paperback / softback
Edited by Fiona McCann
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book examines the forms and practices of Irish confinement from the 19th century to present-day to explore the social and political failings of 20th and 21st century postcolonial Ireland.
Building on an interdisciplinary conference held in the Crumlin Road Gaol, Belfast, the methodological approaches adopted across this book range from the historical and archival to the sociological, political, and literary.
This edited collection touches on topics such as industrial schools, Magdalen laundries, struggles and resistance in prisons both North and South, Direct Provision, and the ways in which prison experiences have been represented in literature, cinema, and the arts.
It sketches out an uncomfortable picture of the techniques for policing bodies deployed in Ireland for over a century.
This innovative study seeks to establish a link between Ireland’s inhumane treatment of women and children, of prisoners, and of asylum seekers today, and to expose and pinpoint modes of resistance to these situations.
