Examines the factors that have contributed to the increased construction of prisons & concomitant increase of the number of prisoners in the US. The popular explanations for prison development in the US (eg, the public perception that drug trafficking has increased the threat to social well-being) are offered; alternative explanations that identify structural racism & the economic potential of prisons are also considered. It is asserted that prisons provide a geographic resolution to the socioeconomic problems caused by globalization. The beginning of the prison construction movement in 1967/68 is attributed to the Right's attempt to control domestic & foreign disorder & the termination of an escalated profit rate that commenced immediately prior to WWII. The legacy of this "military Keynesianist" approach in CA resulted in (1) an increase in economic inequality, (2) accumulation of property & interest income for wealthy elite, (3) transformation of agricultural lands into suburbs, (4) creation of job insecurity because of a labor surplus, & (5) an inability to create new markets that would appropriate the capital of dying markets. It is maintained that these factors prompted the explosive construction of prisons in CA & the state government's increased concern with incarceration. How CA will continue to finance prison construction is considered. 34 References. J. W. Parker

Capitalism's reorganization requires concerted oppositional analysis & public oppositional action; however, oppositional studies have failed to meet this challenge. Contemporary oppositional studies are characterized by four overlapping trends: individualistic careerism, romantic particularism, luxury production, & organic praxis. Of these, the careerist, particularist, & luxury modes have squandered intellectual resources, produced theoretical sloppiness & political dishonesty, & accomplished little more than the exploitation of the culture of opposition & encouragement of the privatization of public intellectual property & values. This, in turn, has led to class interests of professional intellectual elites & the production of public enemies that the state uses to safeguard the status quo. 4 References. D. Generoli

"This volume, with an introduction by the renowned abolitionist and anti-imperialist theorist Ruth Wilson Gilmore, brings together Lenin's texts on imperialism and those on the national question to provide a window into Lenin's global vision of revolution"--

"Development Arrested is a major reinterpretation of the 200-year-old conflict between African American workers and the planters of the Mississippi Delta. The book measures the impact of the plantation system on those who suffered its depredations firsthand, while tracing the decline and resurrection of plantation ideology in national public policy debate. Despite countless defeats under the planter regime, African Americans in the Delta continued to push forward their agenda for social and economic justice. Throughout this remarkably interdisciplinary book, ranging across fields as diverse as rural studies, musicology, development studies, and anthropology, Woods demonstrates the role of music--including jazz, rock and roll, soul, rap and, above all, the blues--in sustaining a radical vision of social change." --
