From the publisher

Many thought the election of our first African American president put an end to the conversation about race in this country, and that America had moved into a post-racial era of equality and opportunity. Then, on the night of February 26, 2012, a black seventeen-year-old boy walking to a friend's home carrying only his cell phone, candy, and a fruit drink, was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch coordinator.

And in July 2013, the trial of Zimmerman for murder captivated the public, as did his eventual acquittal.

In her provocative and landmark book, Suspicion Nation, Lisa Bloom, who covered the trial from gavel to gavel, posits that none of this was a surprise: Our laws, culture, and blind spots created the conditions that led to Trayvon Martin's death, and made George Zimmerman's acquittal by far the most likely outcome.

America today holds an unhealthy preoccupation with firearms that has led to the expansion of gun rights to surreal extremes. America now has not only the highest per capita gun ownership rate in the world (almost one gun per American), but the highest rate of gun deaths. Despite the strides America has made, fighting a bloody Civil War to end slavery, eradicating Jim Crow laws, teaching tolerance, and electing an African American president, racial inequality persists throughout our country, in employment, housing, education, the media, and most institutions. And perhaps most destructively of all, racial biases run deep in every level of our criminal justice system. Suspicion Nation captures a court system and a country conflicted and divided over issues of race, violence, and gun legislation.

Description:
318 Pages. First edition by the full number line.. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped. This is an in-depth look at the Travon Martin death, why it occurred, and why the conditions that caused it continue. The book's dust jacket is in fine condition with only very slight wearing at the top and bottom edges of the spine keeping it from being like-new.. The interior book though is in Like-New condition with no visible extraneous markings, detriments, or distractions throughout the book and thus has all printing and photographs in a very well-preserved and readable condition and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore are sound. If you should order this interesting book from us, we will wrap it, pad it and then box it and mail it right away to you and it will come with our honest appreciation for your order.
