The Condemnation of Blackness

Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America, With a New Preface

Khalil Gibran Muhammad

This award-winning book delves into the idea of black criminality and its impact on modern urban America. The author uncovers how statistics linking blackness to crime have fueled racism and justified inequality. With urgent and thought-provoking questions, the book explores the origins of this myth and its endurance amidst the current political climate. This seminal work sheds light on how this notion has perpetuated racial disparities in American law enforcement and criminal justice.
