16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Powerful Stories; Transformational ResearchBy Christie Billups; D.Min.After reading The New Jim Crow; a colleague recommended this as a next read. Both books undertake a critique of the prison system that diminishes our nation and disproportionately oppresses our Black sisters and brothers. Arrested Justice raises awareness of the unheard voices of Black women who suffer at the hands of their neighbors and those who are charged to serve and protect all citizens and residents of our cities and towns. Dr. Beth Richie eloquently dissects the complicated terrain of Black women's experiences of violence;the complicity of the prison nation; and problematizes looking at any one social descriptor in isolation (e.g. race; gender or economic status). She engages the issues; such as poverty; loyalty within the Black community; sexual orientation; and violence at the hands of family; community; and strangers; with depth and insight. In particular; the painful narratives that she shares will leave you disturbed but hungry for insight into how these realities can be diffused and dismantled.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. You should read this; for realBy JoelThis is serious s*** here people. Women are getting tortured and raped and especially women of color...they are victims of a prison-industrial complex that isn't out to serve anything or anybody except the white male phallocracy that remains in power even until now.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
