Abstract

Nicole R. Fleetwood. Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration. Cambridge: Harvard UP, 2020. 352 pp. $39.95.

Marking Time, a book about art and mass incarceration, is a work of art in its own right. Using a blend of interview, analysis, and autobiography, Fleetwood details how images of criminality and carcerality circulate in popular culture—and how some artists subvert those dehumanizing images with their own creations.
