Black on Black Violence

Description

Black-on-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination represents a distinct milestone in criminology and Afrikana Studies. Its explanatory perspectives on the sociopsychological and politicoeconomic causes of Black-on-Black violence are exceptionally insightful, incisive and iconoclastic. The main thesis of this book is that the operational existence of Black-on-Black violence in the United States is psychologically and economically mandated by the White American-dominated status quo. The criminalization of the Black American male is a psychopolitically engineered process designed to maintain the dependency and relative powerlessness of the Afrikan-American and Pan-Afrikan communities. Although Professor Wilson argues that Black-on-Black violence is orchestrated by White America’s need to maintain its oppressive domination of Black America, he also contends that the ending of Black-on-Black violence is the primary responsibility of Afrikan people in America and abroad.
