Black Male Violence in Perspective: Towards Afrocentric
Intervention represents a synthesis of lived experience,
authoritative research, and Afro-centric perspective on one of the
most controversial topics of our day. It examines violence by and
among Black men, as it is inextricably tied to its context; the
history of violence in America including colonialism, expansionism,
and concepts of manifest destiny. Acknowledging important concepts
like Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow" and Joy DeGruy-Leary's
"Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome," and chronicling the devastating
and injurious effects of racism, the text moves in a clinical
direction. It identifies and addresses the resulting dangerous
triad of frustration, anger, and depression and how they come
together clinically to impact young Black men resulting in violent
outcomes. It explores the psychology underlying violent behavior,
delving into the socioeconomic realities that are very much a part
of the landscape of violence in America. Tony Jackson utilizes
cases from his career as a therapist as well as examples from
actual life experience to illustrate challenging concepts. More
importantly, Black Male Violence in Perspective proposes a theory
of intervention and treatment with a discussion on quantitative and
qualitative research methods.
