Carceral Capitalism, Jackie Wang’s new book of essays is an influential critique of liberal anti-racist politics, “Against Innocence,” as well as essays on RoboCop, techno-policing, and the aesthetic problem of making invisible forms of power legible. Wang shows that new carceral modes emerging since the 1990s have blurred the distinction between the inside and the outside of prison.
Wang will be introduced by Brandon Brown, and joined by acclaimed essayist and prolific fiction writer Lily Hoang, a teacher at UCSD, who is the author of five books of essays and fiction, most recently A Bestiary (Cleveland State University Press, 2016).
