"The range of authorial voices, which offer multiple different understandings of detention from legal, social, economic, and first-person perspectives, create a robust and informative scholarship. Through two dozen brief chapters written by journalists, academics, lawyers, activists, and former detainees, this book offers readers remarkable insights into the U.S. detention system today." - Ruth Gomberg, author of Labor and Legality: An Ethnography of a Mexican Immigrant Network

Joseph Larnerd is the most exciting voice to emerge in decorative arts scholarship in a generation. His deeply researched, theoretically sophisticated, and above all, beautifully written study of cut glass is like the subject itself: multifaceted in its implications, crystalline in its clarity. Undercut is a crucial intervention into the field, one that sets a new standard for material culture studies in the 21st century. - Glenn Adamson, author of A Century of Tomorrows: How Imagining the Future Shapes the Present (2024)
