Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and America’s Prison Nation

Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and America’s Prison Nation is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the threats and violence that Black women face in our society. Author Beth E. Richie explores the intersections of racism, poverty, and gender inequality that place Black women in marginalized communities at a uniquely high risk of experiencing battering, rape, sexual harassment, stalking, and incest.

This eye-opening book uses compelling stories of Black women who have been directly impacted by these issues to showcase the urgent need for substantive public policy changes. Richie argues that conservative legal, social, political, and economic policies have had a detrimental impact on activism in the movement to end violence against women in the United States.

What sets Arrested Justice apart is its focus on the ways in which race and culture have been overlooked in the analysis of the causes and consequences of gender violence. By addressing this oversight, Richie brings attention to the extent and various forms of violence that Black women endure, as well as the contexts in which it occurs. She passionately reframes these stories and calls for action to bring about much-needed change.
