This book centers directly impacted Black children who have lived
through parental incarceration. Their stories are told from
holistic perspectives incorporating the full range of collateral
consequences. Shifting from the Eurocentric and capitalistic
viewpoint, they move us beyond negative outcomes to a positive
prism by providing insider perspective, strategy, advice, and
compelling experiences. We center Black children of incarcerated
parents (BCOIP) rich narratives to show how they are conscious
thinkers with perspectives that can help reimagine all Black
children's lives and futures. These stories help readers better
understand the importance of exploring the revolutionary ways BCOIP
continue to survive, thrive, and transform amid the dynamic
challenges surrounding mass incarceration. The book shifts the
social dialogue from fear of intergenerational crime and
incarceration to resilience, success, Black joy, and self-love, and
moves from sympathetic into an empathetic agenda. The book brings
to the forefront counter storytelling through oral narratives that
fill a gap in literature that leaves out the voices of children of
incarcerated parents who are doctors, lawyers, professional
athletes, musicians, community leaders, activists, professors,
teachers, best-selling authors and much more. These are vital
experiences to share because not all BCOIP will end up in prison,
jail, or a detention centre. Black Children of Incarcerated Parents
Speak Truth to Power will be of great interest to scholars from the
humanistic social sciences and humanities. It is also a timely
resource for students (high school, undergraduate and graduate) in
sociology, criminology, corrections, humanities, social work,
counselling, education, social justice, and related courses, as
well as agency administrators, community organizations servicing
families of the incarcerated, specifically incarcerated parents and
the children of incarcerated parents, themselves.
