1. The Condemnation Of Blackness
Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America
This insightful work delves into the historical roots of racial stereotypes in America, tracing how the association of blackness with criminality emerged and evolved in the post-Emancipation era. It examines the role of social science, media, and public policy in perpetuating these damaging perceptions, highlighting how they have shaped racial disparities in the criminal justice system. By exploring the intersection of race, crime, and culture, the book challenges readers to reconsider the narratives that have long influenced American society's understanding of race and justice.
