Incarcerated Resistance offers a moving portrait of prison witness, a kind of activism that, while rare, is important for what it can teach us about the nexus of U.S. imperialism, identity and power. Stanger's research exemplifies the best of feminist-activist scholarship, presenting with the utmost care what it is that justice action prisoners know and do while deftly theorizing the fraught enterprise of contesting state violence from a position of privilege.

In Incarcerated Resistance, Anya Stanger thoughtfully examines the complexities of identity-based privilege, showing how well-meaning activists may inadvertently reinforce existing power dynamics. Stanger offers a vivid depiction of prison witness activism while simultaneously revealing how it yields differential consequences based on activists' identities. Written in clear and accessible prose, this book is a compelling read!

Incarcerated Resistance is a beautifully written feminist exploration of the embodied resistance of justice action prisoners in Plowshares and the School of Americas Watch. It serves as an eloquent primer for how race, gender, class, and citizenship privilege can be mobilized to hold the US accountable for its global imperial adventures. Stanger offers a compelling account of the radical and nuanced ways that justice action prisoners courageously deploy their identities to confront the violences of militarization and empire in the service of the good, creating an inspiring ethnography of a uniquely North American social justice movement.
