Using rich new untapped archives, \u003ci\u003eStates of Delinquency\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to explore the experiences of young Mexican Americans, African Americans, and ethnic Euro-Americans in California correctional facilities including Whittier State School for Boys and the Preston School of Industry. Miroslava Ch疱ez-Garc? examines the ideologies and practices used by state institutions as they began to replace families and communities in punishing youth, and explores the application of science and pseudo-scientific research in the disproportionate classification of youths of color as degenerate. She also shows how these boys and girls, and their families, resisted increasingly harsh treatment and various kinds of abuse, including sterilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miroslava Chavez-Garcia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520271718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520271715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012","brand":"Miroslava Chavez-Garcia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44860089532671,"sku":"9780520271715","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acfa954f-e9c7-4567-88bf-8be96c386e60.jpg?v=1709135371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/states-of-delinquency-miroslava-chavez-garcia-9780520271715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
