was objective or value-free. Their work, often with good reason, had come to dominate much of the literature of criminology, deviance and social work. In this book, originally published in 1976, Professor Morris provided an immensely readable and controversial reply. At the time it was felt it was likely to please neither the materialist nor the positivist, and that those whose master was not Marx but Freud would find little comfort in it. Though he writes as a social scientist, the book is not weighed down by statistics, nor an endless, jargon-laden exegesis of criminological and deviance theory. What it does do is to set the question of deviance and its control in a wider perspective by examining our beliefs about social order at the time and the manner in which such order was imposed. In doing so, the author draws widely upon history, sociology and philosophy, providing essential reading for students of sociology, crime and deviance, social work and the law.Institutional Racism: Colonialism, Epistemic Injustice and Cumulative Trauma
Par Shamila Ahmed. 2024
Institutional Racism explores the role of colonialism, truth, and knowledge in creating and maintaining institutional racism. It documents how the…
manipulation of truth and knowledge facilitated colonialism and epistemicide to create a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism that maintains the illusionary status of equality and justice and continues to conceal the breadth and depth of victimisation.The chapters present an understanding of how epistemicide, critical race theory, post-colonialism, white racial frames, white privilege, and insidious trauma can be used to critique the discourses and mechanisms that sustain a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism and how these concepts facilitate a victim perspective of institutional racism that documents the cumulative psychological and physical harms of institutional racism. The second half of the book provides grounded case studies of institutional racism in the areas of education, policing, the war on terror, and Covid 19 to demonstrate how contemporary processes of colonialism and epistemicide maintain and reinforce institutional racism to negatively impact physical and mental health and contribute to cumulative trauma.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, criminal justice, history, law, and politics, and those studying race, ethnicity, and racism, as well as anyone interested in learning about racism, structural inequality, and institutional racism.Game Over: The Rise and Transformation of a Harlem Hustler
Par Azie Faison, Agyei Tyehimba. 2007
A cautionary tale about the life of former kingpin Azie Faison, who has become the fabric of street legend Faison…
was a ninth grade dropout who earned more than $100,000 a week selling cocaine in Harlem, New York, during the peak of America's "War on Drugs" between 1983 and 1990. Faison, along with two partners, was an urban prince with cars, jewels, and people -- in awe of this million-dollar phenomenon -- at his feet. His legacy has been praised by hip-hop's top names in their lyrics, and his life was the basis for the urban cult classic film Paid in Full starring Mekhi Phifer, Wood Harris, and rapper Cam'ron and produced by Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Films. In Game Over, Azie brings forth a powerful memoir of New York's perilous drug underworld and music industry, with an intellect and wisdom to empower and challenge the street culture he knows so very well.International Handbook of Victimology
