Description

Carceral Capitalism by Jackie Wang explores the contemporary techniques of incarceration that have emerged since the 1990s. This collection of essays examines various aspects of the carceral continuum, including biopolitics, predatory policing, and algorithmic governance. Wang critiques liberal anti-racist politics and sheds light on the new racial capitalism, which begins with parasitic governance and predatory lending. She argues that these practices have a spatial character, manifesting in subprime mortgage loans, student loans for sham for-profit colleges, car loans, rent-to-own scams, payday loans, and bail bond loans. By analyzing these forms of exploitation, Wang reveals the devastating impact on individuals and communities, including the erosion of subjectivity and the creation of living hells.
