Black-On-Black Violence by Amos N. Wilson

The reader will not be left unmoved.Īlthough Professor Wilson argues that Black-on-Black violence is prchestrated by White America's need to maintain its oppressive domination of Black American, and of Western Europe's need to continue - without end - its economic exploitation of Africa, he also contends that the ending of Black-on-Black violence is the primary, if not sole, responsibility of Afrikan people in America and abroad. Its analyses of the collective psyches of both the White American and Black American communities are unsparingly and powerfully instructive. Its meticulous and painstaking exposure of the psychosocial and intrapsychical dynamics of Black-on-Black criminality is startlingly revealing. This work, however, moves far beyond blaming the victimizer. The criminalization of the Black American male is a psycholpolitically engineered process designed to maintain the dependency and relative powerlessness of the Afrikan-American and Pan-Afrikan communities. The main thesis of this book is that the operational existence of Black-on-Black violence in the United States is psychologically and economically mandated by the White American-dominated status quo. The psychodynamics of the Black-on-Black criminal are presented here with a depth and clarity rarely seen before.

Its explanatory perspectives on the sociopsychological and politicoeconomic causes of Black-on-Black Violence are exceptionally insightful, incisive and iconoclastic. This book represents a distinct milestone in criminology and Afrikan Studies.
