DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading and book party for Jackie Wang’s Carceral 
 Capitalism, the newest volume in Semiotext(e)’s Interventions Series. 
 This book of essays includes Wang’s influential critique of liberal 
 anti-racist politics, “Against Innocence,” 
 http://www.semiotextes.com/shop/against-innocence-jackie-wang besides 
 essays on RoboCop, techno-policing, and the aesthetic problem of making 
 invisible forms of power legible. Wang shows that the new racial capitalism 
 begins with parasitic governance and predatory lending that extends credit 
 only to dispossess later, and how new carceral modes emerging since the 
 1990s have blurred the distinction between the inside and the outside of 
 prison. \n\nJackie Wang will be introduced by Brandon Brown, and joined by 
 acclaimed essayist and prolific fiction writer Lily Hoang. Hoang, visiting 
 from San Diego where she teaches in the MFA program at UCSD, is the author 
 of five books of essays and fiction, most recently A Bestiary (Cleveland 
 State University Press, 2016), selected by Wayne Koestenbaum for the 
 inaugural Cleveland State University Poetry Center Nonfiction Contest. 
 Koestenbaum notes: “Lily Hoang prompts us to rethink what literature 
 today can aspire to.” \n\nAnd Maggie Nelson adds: “Rarely have I come 
 across tenderness, venom, and fire held so intimately, so exquisitely, as 
 in Lily Hoang’s A Bestiary…. Lily Hoang writes like she has nothing to 
 lose and everything at stake.”\n \n\n“What do we make\nof the flowering 
 vine\nthat uses as its trellis\nthe walls of a prison?”\n
