Martine Jean is a historian of crime and punishment 19th century Brazil. Her research probes the history of confinement and its intersection with slavery, poverty, and race-making in nineteenth-century Brazil as well as their implications for understanding mass incarceration, race, and citizenship in the post-emancipation period in the Americas. During her time at the WIGH and ALARI, she will complete her book manuscript entitled “Routine Imprisonment, Race, and Citizenship in Nineteenth-Century Brazil, 1830-1890” under contract at the University of Texas Press. The research is supported by a 2018 NEH Summer Stipends. My work has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Atlantic Studies: Global Currents, entitled “A Storehouse of Prisoners: Rio de Janeiro’s Correction House (Casa de Correção) and the Birth of the Penitentiary in Brazil, 1830-1906”, online October 24, 2016; in print: Vol, 14, issue 2, July 2017. A second article, “Worthy of Freedom: Abolitionist Discourse on Slavery, Freedom, and Imprisonment in Late Nineteenth-Century Brazil” is published by the Journal of Social History (November, 2017). A forthcoming article on the utilisation of a mixed free and unfree labor force to build the Casa de Correção will be published in the Internal Review of Social History in spring 2019.
