Extract
Punishment, Prisons, and Patriarchy: Liberty and Power in the Early American Republic. By Mark E. Kann. New York: New York University Press, 2005. 348p. $50.00.
Mark Kann's book is an astute, lucid, and valuable contribution to the critical analysis of the history of imprisonment and, most importantly, the relationships between liberty and punishment, the persistent gulf between those classified as deserving or undeserving, and the ideological assumptions and cultural practices regarding gender, race, and class that sustain those distinctions.
