Description

Race, Africana Communication, and Criminal Justice Reform: A Reflexive and Intersectional Analysis of Adaptive Vitality discusses issues and themes surrounding communication, social media, online protests, policing, criminal justice reform, and freedom of speech. Honoring the legacy of Dr. James Conyers, this volume offers analyses grounded in Africana praxis and communication principles that embrace social justice and challenge systems based on race, arguing for the importance of establishing networks of communication that benefit all people. Collectively, these interdisciplinary chapters extend the research on race at the intersections of social media and social justice. Scholars of Africana studies, communication, criminal justice, education, and sociology will find this work particularly useful.
