It is heavy reading, but important.<br /><br />You had not yet recommended it to but I looked it up just now and added it to my to-read list.

I just hope they're not bringing you down too much, cause books about these things can get you down sometimes. At least they do for me... but I still keep reading them.<br />Have I recommended you All Day by Liza Jessie Peterson yet?Evelina @ AvalinahsBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564183695294142501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-48582531663910039722018-02-22T21:52:35.225-06:002018-02-22T21:52:35.225-06:00It really is and I feel so helpless in how to solv...It really is and I feel so helpless in how to solve this. Our country has gone so far back with this "administration", I fear what things will look like should the worst-case scenario happen and Trumplethinskin gets re-elected.<br /><br />I have had Ghettoside in my sights for a while and go back and forth on whether I will read it or not. Books like are tough, because they are cultural studies in a way, but also true crime and I am not a fan of the true crime and all the horrible details. After looking over your review, big surprise, I added it back to my TBR.

I read Jill Leovy's reportage book Ghettoside on a similar subject and it was very disturbing to see the differences in both policing and expectations of policing between black and white communities.<br /><br />http://litflits.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/ghettoside-by-jill-leovy.htmlStephanie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071958445763105060noreply@blogger.com
