    About this audiobook

    In our era of mass incarceration, gun violence, and Black Lives Matters, a handbook showing how racial justice and restorative justice can transform the African-American experience in America.

    This timely work will inform scholars and practitioners on the subjects of pervasive racial inequity and the healing offered by restorative justice practices. Addressing the intersectionality of race and the US criminal justice system, social activist Fania E. Davis explores how restorative justice has the capacity to disrupt patterns of mass incarceration through effective, equitable, and transformative approaches.

    Davis highlights real restorative justice initiatives that function from a racial justice perspective; these programs are utilized in schools, justice systems, and communities, intentionally seeking to ameliorate racial disparities and systemic inequities.

    She looks at initiatives that strive to address the historical harms against African Americans throughout the nation. This newest addition the Justice and Peacebuilding series is a much needed and long overdue examination of the issue of race in America as well as a beacon of hope as we learn to work together to repair damage, change perspectives, and strive to do better.

      Honestly, I think the book was amazing and insightful. As someone who is extremely interested in Race and Restorative Justice and social activism in general, the book provided wonderful insight into how we can learn to be more actively anti-racist and healing. It truly made me think about how I react to violence and harm as well, and how as a collective society we should focus more on being conscious of growth and human error. Fania E. Davis did an amazing job at not only including Black people for restorative justice but also acknowledging how other minority groups are affected (like indigenous peoples' or the Latine community). Definitely worth the read!

      Brilliant introduction to the history of restorative justice. The origins are fascinating as are the insights for schools and the justice system.
