J. Simpson trial, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and the Million Man March, Hutchinson brilliantly counters the image of the black male as a figure entrenched in crime, drugs, and violence. At the same time, he issues a deeply moving call to rethink the way we view African American men.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45409310867607,"sku":"9780684836577","price":1361.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780684836577.webp?v=1767311249","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-assassination-of-the-black-male-image-9780684836577","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
