Summary:
"This book goes beyond chronicling isolated incidents of injustice to look at the broader systems of inequality in our society - how they're structured, how they harm Black people, and how we can work for positive change. The school-to-prison pipeline, mass incarceration and the prison boom, the unique ways Black women and trans people are treated, wrongful convictions and the challenges of exoneration, and more. Each chapter opens with a true story, explains the history and current state of the issue, and looks toward how we can work for change. The ways class, race, and gender contribute to injustice, as well as the perils of colorblind racism - that by pretending not to see race we actually strengthen, rather than dismantle, racist social structures. A powerful call to acknowledge injustice and work for change. Angela J. Hattery is professor and director of women and gender studies at George Mason University. Her books include Intimate Partner Violence. Earl Smith is emeritus professor at Wake Forest University. He is the author or editor of several books, including Race, Sport, and the American Dream. Together, they are the authors of African American Families Today: Myths and Realities"--Provided by publisher.
