Weatherspoon posits that in every American institutional system, from birth to death, the journey of African-American males to achieve racial justice and equity in this country is ignored, marginalized, and exploited. The American justice system, in particular, has permitted and in some cases sanctioned the marginalization of African-American males as full citizens. Weatherspoon examines the idea that African-American males are disproportionately represented in every aspect of the criminal justice system, and that the marginalization of African-American males in America has a long and treacherous history that continues to negatively impact their economic, political, and social status"-- $c Provided by publisher. 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033108.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826101953.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20150728012241.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=185F1BCC34EE11E5BB0C1891DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
