- (En)gendering Violence, Imagining Safety: Carceral Politics in Rhode Island's Feminist Movement, 1970-2009
- Abstract
- This thesis traces the development of carceral feminist logics in the Rhode Island mainstream feminist movement, beginning in the 1970s with feminism’s second wave and extending to the early 2000s. Examining feminist anti-violence organizing, in particular the local Take Back the Night movement, this project suggests that carceral strategies emerged in tandem with mainstream feminism’s turn to a politics of recognition, which displaced the early movement’s more expansive, multi-dimensional notions of gender justice. This thesis lays out the consequences of growing alliances between law enforcement and white feminists on the landscape of sexual policing in RI, analyzing the relationships between a certain thread of the mainstream movement—that is, dominance feminism—and the adoption of more punitive crime prevention measures.
