| Sommario/riassunto: | Examining over a hundred taped accounts of narratives of violence made by African-American inmates of a US maximum security prison, O'Connor (English, Georgetown U.) explores how they speak about their lives, and in particular about their crimes. In details of the language and voice, she finds clues to the speaker's sense of identity and feeling of agency. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR |
