Description: Punishment, Prisons, And Patriarchy : Liberty And Power In The Early American Republic, Hardcover by Kann, Mark E., ISBN 0814747833, ISBN-13 9780814747834, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Kann (political science and history, U. of Southern California) explores the paradox that the first generation of Americans, having espoused liberty, indeed fought a war for it, also called for the long-term imprisonment of people they considered prone to vice, disorder, and crime, including immigrants, African Americans, women, and the lower classes. Their ideal of liberty, he says, did not go so far as to jeopardize patriarchy, and so even today freedom-loving Americans rarely question a penitentiary system that incarcerates two million and threatens over twice that many.
