Zusammenfassung:	"This volume considers the interconnection of racial oppression in the U.S. South and West, presenting thirteen case studies that explore the ways in which people have been caged and incarcerated, and what these practices tell us about state building, coercive legal powers, and national sovereignty. As these studies depict the institutional development and state scaffolding of overlapping carceral regimes, they also consider how prisoners and immigrants resisted such oppression and violence by drawing on the transnational politics of human rights and liberation, transcending the isolation of incarceration and the boundaries of domestic law"-- Carceral shadows : entangled lineages and technologies of migrant detention / David Manuel Hernandez -- The means and meanings of carceral mobility : U.S. deportation trains and the early twentieth-century deportation assemblage / Ethan Blue -- Scorpion's tale : a borderlands history of Mexican imprisonment in the Sunbelt / Kelly Lytle Hernandez -- Cultural resilience as resistance : the world of Mexican prisoners in Texas / George T.
