{"product_id":"arrested-justice-black-women-violence-and-americas-prison-nation","title":"Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and Americas Prison Nation","description":"Illuminates the threats Black women face and the lack of substantive public policy towards gendered violence\n\nBlack women in marginalized communities are uniquely at risk of battering, rape, sexual harassment, stalking and incest. Through the compelling stories of Black women who have been most affected by racism, persistent poverty, class inequality, limited access to support resources or institutions, Beth E. Richie shows that the threat of violence to Black women has never been more serious, demonstrating how conservative legal, social, political and economic policies have impacted\nactivism in the U.S.-based movement to end violence against women.\n\nRichie argues that Black women face particular peril because of the ways that race and culture have not figured centrally enough in the analysis of the causes and consequences of gender violence. As a result, the extent of physical, sexual and other forms of violence in the lives of Black women, the various forms it takes, and the contexts within which it occurs are minimized―at best―and frequently ignored. Arrested Justice brings issues of sexuality, class, age, and criminalization into focus right alongside of questions of public policy and gender violence, resulting in a compelling critique, a passionate re-framing of stories, and a call to action for change.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 081477623X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UTLL005B9D_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Richie, Beth E.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
