Teaching Publics in the American Penalscape
2016
In the year 2015 the federal government announced an initiative to reinstate access to Pell grants for some incarcerated people. That same year, public arguments in favor of higher education in prison have been on the rise. On the opinion pages of the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, and many others, contributors issued a call to conscience for a general public seemingly unaware of how prisons restrict access to education in the US. Many pieces are written by or feature professors at restrictive enrollment, frequently private, postsecondary institutions who emphasize the equality of intellectual ability across campus and prison. These pieces note that there is no qualitative difference between campus and carceral student, although incarcerated students may be more impressive based on focus, intensity, and commitment. These op-eds and articles might justly be considered teaching American Studies. At their best, these pieces draw attention to the interdependence of incarceration and education in US society.

The essays in this pathbreaking collection consider the significance of varied early American fragmentary genres and practices-from diaries and poetry, to almanacs and commonplace books, to sermons and lists, to Indigenous ruins and other material shards and fragments-often overlooked by critics in a scholarly privileging of the \"whole.\" Contributors from literary studies, book history, and visual culture discuss a host of canonical and non-canonical figures, from Edward Taylor and Washington Irving to Mary Rowlandson and Sarah Kemble Knight, offering insight into the many intellectual, ideological, and material variations of \"form\" that populated the early American cultural landscape. As these essays reveal, the casting of the fragmentary as aesthetically eccentric or incomplete was a way of reckoning with concerns about the related fragmentation of nation, society, and self. For a contemporary audience, they offer new ways to think about the inevitable gaps and absences in our cultural and historical archive.
