argument that racism is a remediable form of suggestion-induced

USA construct racism, and put forward a practical plan to eradicate
racism in the USA and all over the world.
The Social Dynamics of Family Violence explores family violence
throughout the life course, from child abuse and neglect to
intimate partner violence and elder abuse. Paying special attention
to the social character and institutional causes of family
violence, Hattery and Smith ask students to consider how social
inequality, especially gender inequality, contributes to tensions
and explosive tendencies in family settings. Students learn about
individual preventative measures and are also invited to question
the justice of our current social structure, with implications for
social policy and reorganization. Hattery and Smith also examine
violence against women globally and relate this to violence in the
United States. Unique coverage of same-sex and multicultural
couples, as well as of theory and methods, make this text an
essential element of any course considering the sociology of family
violence.

From a former criminal and now chaplain for the San Francisco 49ers
and the Golden State Warriors, comes a riveting, behind-the-bars
look at one of America's most feared prisons: San Quentin. Reverend
Earl Smith shares the most important lessons he's learned from
years of helping inmates discover God's plan for them.In 1983,
twenty-seven-year-old Earl Smith arrived at San Quentin just like
everyone thought he would. Labeled as a gang member and criminal
from a young age, Smith was expected to do some time, but after a
brush with death during a botched drug deal, Smith's soul was saved
and his life path was altered forever. From that moment on, Smith
knew God had an unusual mission for him, and he became the minister
to the lost souls sitting on death row. For twenty-three years,
Smith played chess with Charles Manson, witnessed twelve
executions, and negotiated truces between rival gangs. But most
importantly, Smith helped the prisoners of San Quentin find
redemption, hope, and understand that it is still possible to find
God's grace and mercy from behind bars. Edgy, insightful, and
thought provoking, Death Row Chaplain teaches us that God's grace
can reach anyone--even the most desperate and lost--and that it's
never too late to turn our lives around.

Robertson and Chaney examine how the early antecedents of police
brutality like plantation overseers, the lynching of African
American males, early race riots, the Rodney King incident, and the
Los Angeles Rampart Scandal have directly impacted the current
relationship between communities of color and police. Using a
phenomenological framework, they analyze how African American
college students perceive police to determine how race, gender, and
education create different realities among a demographic. Based on
their qualitative and quantitative findings, Robertson and Chaney
offer recommended policies and strategies for police and
communities to improve relationships and perceptions between the
two.
