CSCRE's fall 2007 discussion series, The Prison Machine: Race, Torture, & the State, explores the incarceration of people of color with a focus on intersections of race, torture, and the state. The series starts off with Joy A. James, a professor of Africana studies at Williams College who holds a Ph.D. in political philosophy from Fordham University and a post doctorate degree in religious ethics from the Union Theological Seminary at Columbia University.

Her presentation will feature her new book Warfare in the American Homeland: Policing and Prison in a Penal Democracy. For more information about Professor James please visit her site at http://www.brown.edu/Departments/African_American_Studies/james.html.
