SUMMARY:How We Talk about Prison: Rewriting the Language of Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nPlease note\, this event is NOT at SRLP\n\nAsian American
  Writers' Workshop\n112 W 27th St Suite 600\nNew York\, NY 10001\n\nThere 
 are enough people in American prisons\, jails\, and immigration detention 
 centers to populate a country. And like a country\, American incarceration
  has its own language. There's the technocratic and euphemistic language o
 f the state—offender\, felon\, illegal immigrant\, detainee\, parolee. T
 here's also the language that the incarcerated use to describe their own p
 osition in a system of confinement—captive\, prisoner\, migrant\, refuge
 e\, returning citizen. At the Asian American Writers' Workshop\, we'll int
 errogate these terms and the political narratives they feed into.\n\nIs la
 nguage adequate to describe the harsh reality of incarceration? Which word
 s are used too often\, too lazily\, not often enough? Does language have t
 he power to shape the way we think about freedom? Join us for presentation
 s by Nicole R. Fleetwood\, Madhu Kaza\, Aviva Stahl\, Sarah Wang\, and a 
 conversation with AAWW's Prisons Editor Daniel A. Gross about the evolving
  language of 2019 and the way it shapes lives.\n\nRESERVE A SEAT!\n$5 SUGG
 ESTED DONATION | OPEN TO THE PUBLIC\n\nImage credit: “Canary Robin and t
