The Rebirth of Caste Timeline

Spring 2014

The following timeline includes contributions from students enrolled in The Beat Within, A Compositional History of Incarcerated Writing Spring 2014 course.  The purpose of the assignment is to give us a visual perspective of the Rebirth of Caste five sections, 'The Birth of Slavery', 'The Death of Slavery', 'The Birth of Jim Crow', 'The Death of Jim Crow', and 'The Birth of Mass Incarceration'.  Students were also encouraged to include other references discovered in their research of The New Jim Crow's first chapter.  The Timeline will be incorporated into future semester activities and we invite the public to contribute to the timeline by providing a specific date and event that is relevant to the five sections covered in the Rebirth of Caste.  In the future, we may consider developing timelines for each specific period.
