She shows how Latinx expressive practices expose how every rescaling of economic and military power requires new modalities of capture, new ways to bracket and hedge life. Through readings of novels by Helena María Viramontes, Oscar Casares, Lorraine López, Maceo Montoya, Reyna Grande, Daniel Peña, and others, Brady illustrates how submerged captivities reveal the way mechanisms of constraint such as deportability underpin institutional forms of carceral modernity and how such practices scale relations by naturalizing the logic of scalar hierarchies underpinning racial capitalism. By showing how representations of the captive child critique the entrenched logic undergirding colonial power, Brady challenges racialized modes of citizenship while offering visions for living beyond borders"-- Provided by publisher.Scales of CaptivityAmerican literatureHispanic American authorsHistory and criticismHispanic Americans in literatureChildren in literatureImmigrant childrenMexican-American Border RegionAmerican literatureHispanic American authorsHistory and criticism.Hispanic Americans in literature.Children in literature.Immigrant children810.9868073Brady Mary Pat1961-1263383NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910617310203321Scales of Captivity3072863UNINA
