How has this shaped the ways they see themselves and engaged the world? Through Our Eyes provides a view of black men’s experiences that challenges scholars, policy makers, practitioners, advocates, and students to grapple with the reality of race, gender, and violence in America.This multi-level analysis explores the chronological life histories of eight black men from the aftermath of World War II through the Cold War and into today. Gail Garfield identifies the locations, impact, and implications of the physical, personal, and social violence that enters the lives of African American men. She addresses questions critical to understanding how race, gender, and violence are insinuated into black men’s everyday lives and how experiences are constructed, reconstructed, and interpreted. By appreciating the significance of how African American men live through what it means to be black and male in America, this book envisions the complicated dynamics that devalue their lives, those of their family, and society.African American menRacismUnited StatesViolenceUnited StatesIdentity (Psychology)Stereotypes (Social psychology)Electronic books.African American men.RacismViolenceIdentity (Psychology)Stereotypes (Social psychology)305.38/896073Garfield Gail1964-960491MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460241303321Through our eyes2466604UNINA
