Book ID/图书代码: 03371011B50454
English Summary/英文概要: Exile Nation is a work of “spiritual journalism” that grapples with the themes of drugs, prisons, politics, and spirituality through shaw’s personal story. In 2005 shaw was arrested in Chicago for possession of ecstasy and was sent to prison for one year. shaw not only looks at the current prison system and its many destruc-tive flaws, but also at how American culture regards criminals and those who live outside of society. He begins his story at Chicago’s Cook County Jail, and uses its sprawling, highly corrupt infrastructure to build upon his overarching argument.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《流放国度》是一部“精神新闻业”的作品,全书通过讲述萧的故事,将“精神新闻业”中挥之不去的毒品,监狱,政治和人类的精神性主题展现的淋漓尽致。2005年,萧因为携有摇头丸在芝加哥被捕入狱一年,萧看见的不仅仅是现行的监狱系统的种种毁灭性弊病,还有美国文化对于他们这一群生存在社会以外的人群的态度。萧的故事要从芝加哥的库克监狱说起,从那一片零零散散延伸开去又高度腐朽的监狱设施中,萧向我们娓娓道来他对此洞悉一切的精辟见解。(兼职翻译-DC)
