Description

Product Description In Everyday Violence against Black and Latinx LGBT Communities, Siobhan Brooks argues that hate crimes and violence against Black and Latinx LGBT people are the products of institutions and ideologies that exist both outside and inside of Black and Latinx communities. Brooks analyzes families, educational systems, healthcare industries, and religious spaces as institutions that can perpetuate and transform the political and cultural beliefs and attitudes that engender violence toward LGBT Black and Latinx people. Review In Everyday Violence, Dr. Siobhan Brooks provides a razor-sharp intersectional lens to examine systemic, familial, and communal violence routinely committed against Black and Latinx LGBT people. Through interviews she conducted, rigorous scholarship, and her Black lesbian feminist activism, Dr. Brooks identifies the origins and contemporary realities of some of the most heinous acts against Black and Latinx LGBT people. She also sheds radiant light on why we must end the multilayered violence without enacting more violence. There aren't overnight, one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, Dr. Brooks offers restorative approaches that center Black and Latinx LGBT people and require institutional and cultural change. Everyday Violence is brilliant and accessible scholarship that encourages us to envision and work diligently to co-create a world where we're all safe and free from harm by ensuring some of the most marginalized are safe and free from harm.--Aishah Shahidah Simmons, Lambda Award-Winning Editor of Love WITH Accountability: Digging Up the Roots of Child Sexual Abuse Siobhan Brooks' Everyday Violence against Black and Latinx LGBT Communities is a stunning and necessary reminder about the ways some of us survive, or not, through violence. Brooks' words are catalytic--calling the reader to act justly and demanding of all of us to engage in the work of remaking communities where Black and Latinx lives are deeply valued and realized.--Darnell L. Moore, Author of No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America Everyday Violence is just as powerful as it is timely! Brooks' work provides a refreshing perspective by giving voice to Black and Latinx LGBTQ survivors and activists working to promote equality and justice, while also highlighting the role that structural racism, homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination play in not only allowing, but also encouraging this violence to perpetuate. Throughout, Brooks emphasizes many uncomfortable truths - such as the reappropriation of the BLM, and discrimination that Black and Latinx LGBTQ people face both within communities of color and LGBTQ communities - and provides innovative and policy driven solutions to reduce this violence. Importantly, this book is not only about the violence Black and Latinx LGBTQ people experience, but also about community, resiliency, the fight for equality, and in many cases, the fight for basic survival.--Angelique C. Harris, Boston University School of Medicine About the Author Siobhan Brooks is associate professor of African American studies at California State University at Fullerton.
