It is the first of its kind that uses intersectionality to explore and provide a comprehensive overview of Black women?s unique experience in prison. Race, gender and class are interweaved throughout the whole book to highlight just how interconnected they are for Black women in prison. Beyond focusing solely on imprisonment, the book also uses an original form of data analysis to explore the ways that race and gender impacted Black women prior to their imprisonment, through the visual research method of identity trees. The women wrote down key events of their lives relating to race and gender on a tree template with each part of the tree representing a period in their lives ? thus moving beyond traditional forms of research methods. The book is unique as it focuses on an under-researched area and a group of individuals who have been largely rendered invisible in the prison field of academia. It has a wide scope that spans continents because issues of race, discrimination and the prison estate can be found in all areas of the globe and although some of the nuances are different, some key areas such as systemic disadvantage and oppression are present worldwide. The book is educational through its discussions of intersectionality, Black feminism, and visual research methods. It offers teachable moments for students as well as those already in academia wanting to explore non-traditional forms of conducting research. Angela Charles is Senior Lecturer at the University of Northampton, UK, with five years of teaching experience in academia. 410 0$aCritical Criminological Perspectives,$x2731-0612 606 $aCorrections 606 $aPunishment 606 $aCritical criminology 606 $aRace 606 $aSex 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aCriminology 606 $aPrison and Punishment 606 $aCritical Criminology 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aResearch Methods in Criminology 615 0$aCorrections. 615 0$aPunishment. 615 0$aCritical criminology. 615 0$aRace. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 14$aPrison and Punishment. 615 24$aCritical Criminology. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aResearch Methods in Criminology. 676 $a365.4308996042 700 $aCharles$b Angela$01854487 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911035046203321 996 $aBlack Women in Prison$94451848 997 $aUNINA
