Description: Recovering Identity by Cesraéa Rumpf A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Presss Open Access publishing program. to learn more.Recovering Identity examines a critical tension in criminalized womens identity work. Through in-depth qualitative and photo-elicitation interviews, Cesraéa Rumpf shows how formerly incarcerated women engaged recovery and faith-based discourses to craft rehabilitated identities, defined in opposition to past identities as "criminal-addicts." While these discourses made it possible for women to carve out spaces of personal protection, growth, and joy, they also promoted individualistic understandings of criminalization and the violence and dehumanization that followed. Honoring criminalized womens stories of personal transformation, Rumpf nevertheless strongly critiques institutions promotion of narratives that impose lifelong moral judgment while detracting attention from the structural forces of racism, sexism, and poverty that contribute to womens vulnerability to violence.
