Rethinking Prison Reentry: Transforming Humiliation into Humility describes a prison-based education pedagogy designed to address a prevalent racial politics of shaming; self-segregation; and transgenerational learned helplessness. So many incarcerated black men face insurmountable psychosocial obstacles when attempting to make the successful transition back into ownership of their lives. Tony Gaskew confronts the issue of redemption and reconciliation head-on by critically examining the “triads of culpability†when it comes to crime and justice in America: (1) of those who commit crimes; (2) of those who enforce criminal laws; and (3) of those who stand by and do nothing. He explores the growth of a black counterculture of crime that has created modern-day killing fields across urban neighborhoods and challenges the incarcerated black men trapped within its socially constructed lies; helping them to draw upon the strength of their cultural privilege to transform from criminal offender into incarcerated student.

SchwartzI have not finished reading this book yet and already feel it is good. I am an aircraft nut and enjoy any information I can find on virtually any aircraft. My main interest is in military aircraft and this book has that.2 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Don't bother; unless you hate your hubby.By Reva in SoCalI bought this book (and another one) for my husband because he has been a big fan of the Blackbirds since February; 1964. A few days later; he asked me if I really hated him that much!!! Very disappointed: the undated photos were either not properly captioned or just plain wrong; the writing was "childish" and unpolished; the narrative text was not organized very well; and that the two most important "convoy papers" on pages 22 and 24 were incomplete. He said that he had expected something that was much more professional and complete from a former A-12 Project Pilot than what was published here; especially since the author holds himself out to be the Historian for the Roadrunners Internationale (whoever they are). The only favorable comment that he made was about the back cover being a pretty good summary of Project OXCART; except that only THIRTEEN A-12s were built; not fifteen. The author included the two M-21s in his total.
