 During her stay at the WCFIA, Martine Jean will complete her monograph on the advent of the penitentiary in Brazil with a focus on the Casa de Correção (Correction House) in Rio de Janeiro. Entitled "Routine Imprisonment, Race, and Citizenship in Nineteenth Century Brazil, 1830-1890," the book examines how the routine incarceration of slaves, free people of color, and liberated Africans tied race to penal practice during the protracted emancipation process.

 Martine has a PhD in Latin American History and African-American Studies from Yale University and was previously Assistant Professor of Latin American History at the University of South Carolina, Columbia.
