- Summary:
- In this work, A. Naomi Paik grapples with the history of US prison camps that have confined people outside the boundaries of legal and civil rights. In doing so, she reveals a powerful ongoing contest over the nature and meaning of the law, over civil liberties and global human rights, and over the power of the state in people's lives.
