The book examines the societal framing of "black-on-black" violence during the 1980s, highlighting how economic decline, identity crises, and urban decay contributed to increased violence among African Americans. David Wilson argues that the narrative surrounding this issue was heavily influenced by racial perceptions, leading to widespread blame on black culture and values. Through a combination of statistics, ethnographies, and personal accounts, the author presents compelling evidence of how race and violence became intertwined in public discourse during and after the Reagan era.
