Black Male Deviance

'œAn important contribution to the social science literature on both gender and race, the book is useful for scholars working on questions of black male "deviance" and cultural resistance to "the man" or the "rollers" (white police officers). Lemelle develops a fresh approach to the produced criminality of the African American male "deviant" and sets that "deviance" in the context of black economic conditions and of white oppression since slavery. Lemelle's analysis is insightful, offers an insightful rethinking of the history of black men, black masculinity, and misconceived attributions of pathology to black men.'' ChoiceLemelle, Anthony J., Jr. is the author of 'Black Male Deviance' with ISBN 9780275950040 and ISBN 0275950042.
