It is a comparative case study of the racial dimensions of the War on Drugs in the domestic criminal justice system and the ethnic dimensions of the War on Terror through an examination of the prison and prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. This thesis is about building bridges between domestic and international conceptions of justice with a focus on human rights. Central to this project is an exploration of similar process of white fear, racialization, and dehumanization black and Arab/Muslim men experience under the American justice system. Finally, this thesis explores the political ramifications of wars on ideas (the War on Drugs and the War on Terror) and how that effects punishment. | | Subject | : | Social sciences; Political science; American studies; Minority & ethnic groups; Sociology; Criminology; 0323:American studies; 0615:Political science; 0631:Sociology; 0627:Criminology; 0631:Minority & ethnic groups | | Added Entry | : | R.
