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 Mari?a Viramontes, Oscar Casares, Lorraine Lo?pez, Maceo Montoya, Reyna Grande, Daniel Pen?a, 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. 517 $aScales of Captivity 606 $aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHispanic Americans in literature 606 $aChildren in literature 606 $aImmigrant children$zMexican-American Border Region 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHispanic Americans in literature. 615 0$aChildren in literature. 615 0$aImmigrant children 676 $a810.9868073 700 $aBrady$b Mary Pat$f1961-$01263383 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910617310203321 996 $aScales of Captivity$93072863 997 $aUNINA
