Ideas And Insights EP209 McKay

Prof. Rao interviews Dr. Taselli McKay, a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research fellow at Duke University and an affiliate of RTI International, a non-profit policy research organization in North Carolina. She argues that mass incarceration is a form of collective violence that affects not just prisoners but their families, children, and whole communities. Her book, Stolen Wealth, Hidden Power: The Case for Reparations for Mass Incarceration, published by the University of California Press this year, offers an illuminating account of the devastation caused by mass incarceration in Black communities across the country.
