Do they define manhood in the same way as their counterparts across lines of race? Are black Greek-letter fraternities among the most dangerous student organizations on American college and university campuses? Can their often-dangerous initiation processes be stopped or even modified and, if not, what should be done about them? In this second edition of \u003ci\u003eBlack Haze\u003c\/i\u003e, Ricky L. Jones takes on these questions and more. The first edition was an enlightening and sometimes disturbing examination of American men's quest for acceptance, comfort, reaffirmation, and manhood in a world where their footing is often unstable. In this new edition Jones not only provides masterful philosophical and ethical analyses but he also forces the engagement of a terrifying real world process that damages and kills students with all too frequent regularity. With a revealing new preface and stunning afterword, Jones immerses the reader in an intriguing and dark world marked by hypermasculinity, unapologetic brutality, and sometimes death. He offers a compelling book that ranges well beyond the subject of hazing-one that yields perplexing questions and demands difficult choices as we move forward in addressing issues surrounding fraternities, violent hazing, black men, and American society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47780576985239,"sku":"9781438456737","price":9918.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781438456737.webp?v=1778046308","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/black-haze-violence-sacrifice-and-manhood-in-black-greek-letter-fraternities-9781438456737","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
