The carceral state has been the dominant voice of state governance in the United States over the past forty years. This article takes the archive as a key site of struggle to understand the power dynamics at play with the development of and fight against the carceral state. Utilizing the intervention of the fugitive archival practice, the article analyzes the multifaceted ways in which Black residents and communal institutions of Los Angeles, California, develop strategies and techniques located within past struggles against what I call the carceral state archive. The carceral state archive consists of both the recording mechanisms of state power and the institutions and structures that buttress that power. Built upon a multilayered methodological approach, the framing of the argument includes ethnographic and archival analysis of communal institutions such as the Southern California Library, communal organizations such as the Coalition Against Police Abuse, and the community members who all form the making of the fugitive archival practice.

你要害死我们：逃亡档案实践和监狱国家

在过去的四十年里，监狱国家一直是美国国家治理的主导声音。本文将档案作为一个关键的斗争场所，以了解与监狱国家的发展和与之抗争的权力动态。利用逃犯档案实践的干预，本文分析了加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的黑人居民和社区机构在过去与我所谓的监狱国家档案馆的斗争中制定策略和技术的多方面方式. 监狱国家档案既包括国家权力的记录机制，也包括支撑这种权力的机构和结构。基于多层次的方法论方法，论证的框架包括对诸如南加州图书馆之类的公共机构、诸如反警察滥用联盟之类的公共组织以及构成逃犯档案的社区成员的人种学和档案分析实践。[癌症研究、种族、城市人类学、档案]
