Abstract
"Approaching state penal systems as a nexus where society's ideas about region and politics, crime and punishment, race and ethnicity clashed with the violent reality of prison life helps illustrate how minority groups forged an identity in opposition to the broader values of the nation. Such findings contribute directly to African-American history and immigration studies by exposing the importance of political representation to minority groups and the influence of society's perceptions concerning ""black criminality"" on late nineteenth-century criminal justice systems. Understanding these connections helps us better comprehend how racial and ethnic tensions inform current debates about relationships among crime, law, and society."
