Black Children of Incarcerated Parents Speak Truth to Power
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-29315-8 (ISBN)
These stories help readers better understand the importance of exploring the revolutionary ways BCOIP continue to survive, thrive, and transform amid the dynamic challenges surrounding mass incarceration. The book shifts the social dialogue from fear of intergenerational crime and incarceration to resilience, success, Black joy, and self-love, and moves from sympathetic into an empathetic agenda. The book brings to the forefront counter-storytelling through oral narratives that fill a gap in literature that leaves out the voices of children of incarcerated parents who are doctors, lawyers, professional athletes, musicians, community leaders, activists, professors, teachers, bestselling authors, and much more. These are vital experiences to share because not all BCOIP will end up in prison, jail, or a detention center.
Black Children of Incarcerated Parents Speak Truth to Power will be of great interest to scholars from the humanistic social sciences and humanities. It is also a timely resource for students (high school, undergraduate, and graduate) in sociology, criminology, corrections, humanities, social work, counseling, education, social justice, and related courses, as well as agency administrators, community organizations servicing families of the incarcerated, specifically incarcerated parents and the children of incarcerated parents, themselves.
Britany Jenine Gatewood, Ph.D., is the Senior Research Coordinator for Beloved Community and the founder of the Liberation and Justice Project Foundation, Inc. Her research focuses on the political practice of incarcerated Black women and their children. She obtained her Ph.D. from Howard University, along with a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies. Bahiyyah Miallah Muhammad, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Criminology at Howard University. She is the founder of The Dr. Muhammad Experience Inc., and co-founder of Project Iron Kids for children of incarcerated parents. Professor Muhammad is the author of numerous children’s books, book chapters, and articles about children and families impacted by incarceration. Sydni Myat Turner, M.A., is a social justice advocate, reentry mentor, and program facilitator. In 2021, she earned an M.A. in Sociology from Howard University. She serves as a board chair member and co-facilitator at It Takes A Village Collaborative (ITAVCollab), a non-profit organization providing Black individuals, families, and communities with resources, services, and networks to holistically heal their mind, body, and spirit.
