"Every year between 1998 to 2020 except one, Louisiana had the highest per capita rate of incarceration in the nation and thus the world. This is the first detailed account of Louisiana's unprecedented turn to mass incarceration from 1970 to 2020. Through extensive research, Lydia Pelot-Hobbs illuminates how policy makers enlarged Louisiana's carceral infrastructures with new prisons and jail expansions alongside the bulking up of police and prosecutorial power. At the same time, these infrastructures were the products of multiscalar crises: the swings of global oil capitalism, liberal federal court and policy interventions, the rise of neoliberal governance and law-and-order austerity, and racist and patriarchal moral panics surrounding 'crime.' However, these crises have also created fertile space for anticarceral social movements. From incarcerated people filing conditions of confinement lawsuits, to Angola activists challenging life without parole, to grassroots organizers struggling to shrink the New Orleans jail following Hurricane Katrina, to LGBTQ youth of color organizing against police sexual violence, grassroots movements stretch us toward new geographies of freedom in the lineage of abolition democracy. Understanding Louisiana's carceral crisis extends our understanding of the interplay between the crises of mass criminalization and racial capitalism while highlighting the conditions of possibility for dismantling carceral power in all its forms"--

Mariées, veuves ou célibataires, mères de douze enfants ou femmes sans descendance, elles étaient aussi, et parfois avant tout, entrepreneuses. Investissant des capitaux dont elles ne pouvaient pourtant pas disposer librement, elles ont fondé ou pris la direction d'une entreprise qu'elles ont porté à bout de bras au cours du xviiie siècle.Camille Dejardin nous propose de découvrir l'histoire encore inconnue de ces femmes, dont l'existence se laisse tout juste deviner depuis quelque temps. Comment arrivent-elles à la tête d'entreprise d'une ampleur parfois considérable ? Comment en gèrent-elles les affaires au quotidien ? Quelles sont ces entreprises et, surtout, qui sont ces entrepreneuses ?Ainsi Rose Bertin, une roturière, devient la « ministre des modes » de Marie-Antoinette et influence considérablement son époque, avant de donner son nom à un champagne, la veuve Clicquot. Marguerite Blakey, elle, est accusée de banqueroute frauduleuse par son propre mari. Incarcérée au Petit Châtelet, elle risque la peine capitale, mais grâce à un réseau vaste et solide, elle parvient à être acquittée et s'empresse de remonter une affaire dès sa sortie. Sans oublier Amélie de Berckheim, Olive de Lestonnac, Marie-Anne Barbel et combien d'autres !Négociations, associations stratégiques, mariages arrangés, réseaux : rien n'est mis de côté dans ce livre au sujet inédit qui atteste du riche passé dont les entrepreneuses et aspirantes entrepreneuses de notre xxie siècle sont les dignes héritières.Historienne de formation, Camille Dejardin est l'auteure de Madame Blakey, une femme entrepreneure au XVIIIe siècle (PUR), qui a reçu le prix Mnémosyne 2017
