People from my reservation appeared to simply vanish and magically return. [As a child] I did not realize what a 'real' prison was and did not give it any thought. I imagined this as normal; that all families had relatives who went away and then returned.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this pathfinding study, Ross draws upon the life histories of imprisoned Native American women to demonstrate how race\/ethnicity, gender, and class contribute to the criminalizing of various behaviors and subsequent incarceration rates. Drawing on the Native women's own words, she reveals the violence in their lives prior to incarceration, their respective responses to it, and how those responses affect their eventual criminalization and imprisonment. Comparisons with the experiences of white women in the same prison underline the significant role of race in determining women's experiences within the criminal justice system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luana Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 5.93w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292770843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoss, Luana:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Luana Ross (Salish) is Associate Professor of Gender, Women \u0026amp; Sexuality Studies and Co-Director, Native Voices at the University of Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40822422601843,"sku":"9.78029E+12","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_697bdc1d-fe73-4d7d-a9b8-32e02b025d3f.jpg?v=1683723470","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/inventing-the-savage-the-social-construction-of-native-american-criminality-9780292770843","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
