Violence as seen through a prism of color

Arguing that individual violence stems from the structure of our society and its institutions, African American educators and practitioners (including some who have experienced political violence) examine violence in prisons, schools and colleges, churches, homes, and within political and corporate structures. Subjects include poverty as a form of violence; violence against African American women in prisons; violence in predominantly white institutions of higher education; and violence in black male-female relationships.
