For recent scholarship on “white chivalry,” see Crystal. N. Feimster, Southern Horrors: Women and the Politics of Rape and Lynching (Harvard University Press, 2009). For the “purity movement,” the white slave campaign of 1906, and the white “southern rape complex,” see Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, Revolt Against Chivalry: Jessie Daniel Ames and the Women’s Campaign Against Lynching (Columbia University Press, 1993). In the preface, Hall writes: “The ‘false chivalry’ of lynching cast (white) women as Christ-like symbols of racial purity and regional identity and translated every sign of black self-assertion into a metaphor for rape” (xxi).

In April 2014, the ACLU of Washington State sued ICE for putting hunger strikers in solitary confinement at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. Last year, a federal court authorized officials at the Stewart Detention Center, run by private prison company Corrections Corporation of America/CoreCivic, to restrain and force-feed a hunger-striking immigration detainee. According to reports, the hunger striker is Vitaly Novikov, a refugee from the former Soviet Union who is protesting ICE’s plans to deport him to the Ukraine. See →.
