The Zombification of Formerly Incarcerated and Convicted People: Radical Democracy, Insurgent Citizenship, and Reclaiming Humanity

Grace Gámez is a mother, activist and scholar. She is currently a doctoral student in Justice Studies at Arizona State University and expects to graduate in May 2015. Her research considers how formerly incarcerated and convicted mothers of colour, who are automatically written outside of the script of good mothers, navigate and negotiate their roles as parents with a focus on the afterlife of incarceration, probation, and parole.
