Rethinking Prison Reentry: Transforming Humiliation into Humility
describes a prison-based education pedagogy designed to address a
prevalent racial politics of shaming, self-segregation, and
transgenerational learned helplessness. So many incarcerated black
men face insurmountable psychosocial obstacles when attempting to
make the successful transition back into ownership of their lives.
Tony Gaskew confronts the issue of redemption and reconciliation
head-on by critically examining the "triads of culpability" when it
comes to crime and justice in America: (1) of those who commit
crimes; (2) of those who enforce criminal laws; and (3) of those
who stand by and do nothing. He explores the growth of a black
counterculture of crime that has created modern-day killing fields
across urban neighborhoods and challenges the incarcerated black
men trapped within its socially constructed lies, helping them to
draw upon the strength of their cultural privilege to transform
from criminal offender into incarcerated student.
