Protecting Our Own

Race, Crime, and African Americans

Beschreibung

Protecting Our Own explores the new implications of the 'black protectionism' phenomenon-wherein African Americans feel a protective response towards African American politicians and celebrities in legal battles-as more and more African Americans find themselves in the spotlight. Russell-Brown details the history of this phenomenon and ponders its future in light of recent trials of African American celebrities like OJ Simpson and R. Kelly.
