Sommario/riassunto

Before September 11, 2001, few Americans had heard of immigration detention, but in fact a secret and repressive prison system run by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has existed in this country for more than two decades. In American Gulag, prisoners, jailers, and whistle-blowing federal officials come forward to describe the frightening reality inside these INS facilities. Journalist Mark Dow's on-the-ground reporting brings to light documented cases of illegal beatings and psychological torment, prolonged detention, racism, and inhumane conditions. Intelligent, impassioned, and unlike anything that



has been written on the topic, this gripping work of investigative journalism should be read by all Americans. It is a book that will change the way we see our country. American Gulag takes us inside prisons such as the Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami, the Corrections Corporation of America's Houston Processing Center, and county jails around the country that profit from contracts to hold INS prisoners. It contains disturbing in-depth profiles of detainees, including Emmy Kutesa, a defector from the Ugandan army who was tortured and then escaped to the United States, where he was imprisoned in Queens, and then undertook a hunger strike in protest. To provide a framework for understanding stories like these, Dow gives a brief history of immigration laws and practices in the United States-including the repercussions of September 11 and present-day policies. His book reveals that current immigration detentions are best understood not as a well-intentioned response to terrorism but rather as part of the larger context of INS secrecy and excessive authority. American Gulag exposes the full story of a cruel prison system that is operating today with an astonishing lack of accountability.

Sommario/riassunto

Le dictionnaire retient que les organisations qui se créent sont le fruit des projets ou des desseins des hommes. Mais cette idée, qui semble frappée d’une certaine évidence, n’a guère suscité de développements dans la sphère académique pour théoriser l’entreprise et plus généralement l’action collective. Si l’on considère qu’il s’agit bien d’un manque, ou si l’on a l’intuition de l’importance du projet collectif pour penser l’action collective, il convient d’en montrer la portée. C’est l’objet de ce livre qui vise à établir que l’action collective naît d’un projet collectif, que ce projet s’exprime par des règles et dans des régulations constitutives de l’acteur collectif lui-même. L’action collective comme communauté de projet se comprend comme communauté de règles vécues, communauté d’apprentissage, avec pour enjeu une capacité d’action commune. Un agir projectif est en jeu aussi bien à l’échelle individuelle que collective, celui-ci doit être pleinement intégré dans l’e ort de théorisation de l’action.
