In her exciting new book, Marisol LeBr&oacute;n traces the rise of punitive governance in Puerto Rico over the course of the twentieth century and up to the present. Punitive governance emerged as a way for the Puerto Rican state to manage the deep and ongoing crises stemming from the archipelago&rsquo;s incorporation into the United States as a colonial territory. A structuring component of everyday life for many Puerto Ricans, police power has reinforced social inequality and worsened conditions of vulnerability in marginalized communities.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> This book provides powerful examples of how Puerto Ricans negotiate and resist their subjection to increased levels of segregation, criminalization, discrimination, and harm. <I>Policing Life and Death</I> shows how Puerto Ricans are actively rejecting punitive solutions and working toward alternative understandings of safety and a more just future.
