I contributed a book chapter to a phenomenal new cross-disciplinary book on race and justice in the U.S. within the context of the Trayvon Martin murder and subsequent acquittal. Publicly so much has happened since then in regards to violence towards Black Americans that a volume like this is particularly timely and important. Please spread the word, buy the book, and read the book if you can. Info below: Trayvon Martin, Race, and American Justice: Writing Wrong is the first comprehensive text to analyze not only the killing of Trayvon Martin, but the implications of this event for the state of race in the United States. Bringing together contributions from a variety of disciplines and approaches, this text pushes readers to answer the question: “In the wake of the killing of Trayvon Martin, and the acquittal of his killer, how post-racial can we claim to be?” This collection of short and powerful chapters is at times angering and at times hopeful, but always thought provoking, critical, and poignant. This interdisciplinary volume is well suited for undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty in sociology, social work, law, communication, and education. This book can also be read by anyone interested in social justice and equity through the lens of race in the 21st century.
