Illuminates the threats of Black women face and the lack of
substantive public policy towards gendered violence Black 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 activism in the U.S.-based movement to end violence
against women. Richie 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.
