Book Discussion with Christina Jackson
Galloway, N.J. - Stockton Associate Professor of Sociology Christina Jackson will hold a discussion
and book signing for the new book 鈥淏lack in America鈥 at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb.
11 in the 番茄社区app Campus Center bookstore.
The book, co-written with Anna Branch from Rutgers New Brunswick, is a sociological overview of the Black experience in America. It covers key issues such as politics, the criminal justice system, housing, social movements and identity during a period with consistent deep inequality in the African-American community that is at times obscured with colorblind logic/language.
鈥淭his book is a special one because I was able to bring together both my work in San Francisco and in Atlantic City highlighting much of the resistance and organizing in the Black community,鈥 Jackson said. 鈥淭hrough fieldwork, I was able to document some of the actual voices that exist in the black community in Atlantic City over the last few years.鈥
The event is free and open to the public.
