ABSTRACT California has a long history of criminalizing youth of color. Gang injunctions and the policies which structure the “school to prison pipeline” are contemporary expressions of this. As members of the graduate student curatorial team at the University of California Riverside, our contribution to the Humanities Action Lab’s national exhibition States of Incarceration was to chart the genealogy of sites of surveillance and policing of bodies of color, from the Sherman Indian School in Riverside, CA, to the streets of 1940s Los Angeles, to the public schools and diverse urban neighborhoods of the twenty-first century. In Detention: The War on Youth treats the policies, practices, and sites of policing and surveillance of youthful bodies as the building blocks of a carceral state which has as its end goal the social control of particular kinds of racialized bodies. As our nation’s carceral project continues to expand, we, as public historians, are called to respond to the crisis. We must continue to make public the histories of surveillance, policing, and incarcerating black and brown bodies.

监禁的公共历史：对博物馆和社会变迁的反思

摘要 加利福尼亚长期以来一直将有色人种青少年定为犯罪。帮派禁令和构建“学校到监狱管道”的政策是这一点的当代表达。作为加州大学河滨分校研究生策展团队的成员，我们对人文行动实验室国家展览“监禁状态”的贡献是绘制了河滨谢尔曼印第安学校的有色人种监视和警务场所的谱系图加利福尼亚州，到 1940 年代洛杉矶的街道，到 21 世纪的公立学校和多样化的城市社区。在拘留中：青年战争对待政策、做法、以及对青少年身体进行治安和监视的场所，作为监狱国家的基石，其最终目标是对特定种类的种族化身体的社会控制。随着我们国家的监狱项目不断扩大，我们作为公共历史学家，被要求应对危机。我们必须继续公开监视、维持治安和监禁黑人和棕色尸体的历史。
