Social Inequality, Criminal Justice, and Race in Tennessee
«The book is well-researched, with updated and comprehensive bibliography on the subject, and certainly will add to scholarship in the field of race/racism and the U.S. criminal justice system. It is a must read by scholars, policy makers, and concerned political leaders interested in addressing institutional racism and how best to improve the ‘perverted’ criminal justice that leads to black inequality, political exclusion, and economic disenfranchisement.»
Benjamin Arah, Bowie State University
This book examines the national criminal justice system’s and the state of Tennessee criminal justice system’s policies in terms of how they balance the citizens’ need for prisons with the private sector's desire for profits and the policies’ effects on the incarceration rate of African American males in the state of Tennessee.

«Coming on the heels of the Charlottesville white supremacist violence, Social Inequality, Criminal Justice, and Race in Tennessee, 1960–2014 is timely. Additionally, the theoretical and methodological grounding of the empirical evidence presented in the book is scholarship at its effulgence.»
