Reviews

""This is a daring, experimental, extraordinary project. Lacombe and Mac engage in intimate conversations about truth, justice, freedom, disciplinary power, and the politics of biography. Lacombe unflinchingly attends to the complexities and brutality of Mac’s life. A must-read."" Denielle Elliott, co-editor of Naked Fieldnotes: A Rough Guide to Ethnographic Writing ""Talking Reform is an exquisite dialogue between two very wise souls exploring the data of a lifetime. Utterly riveting from the start and a model for criminology’s future."" Shadd Maruna, University of Liverpool ""A lot of interest is building around lived experience of criminal justice. This book tells you why. A vivid combination of Mac’s prison life (and much more) with sophisticated theoretical analysis, it is an inspiring co-creation."" Rod Earle, Open University ""There are few volumes that detail a person’s lifetime of experiences with the Canadian criminal justice system. Talking Reform does an excellent job of giving voice to Mac and serves educational, scholarly, and humanizing functions in the process."" Kevin Haggerty, University of Alberta
