by Elliott Currie
Thank you to Metropolitan Books and NetGalley for the Reader's Copy!

Akin to other books like "Why do all the Black Children Sit Together" or "Savage Inequalities", Elliott Currie's "A Peculiar Indifference" explores the racist history of violence in America. In particular, the book focuses on the early criminalization of Black youth and the later effects this has on their schooling, livelihood and life expectancy. Currie weaves together interviews, landmark studies and common cultural stereotypes. It is an important and timely read.
