Description

In his seocnd book of the “Strengthening The Black community” series, Pierre D. Perry, author of “Black Fatherhood: Exploring The Importance Of The Black Father,” takes another in-depth look into a very controversial issue plaguing the black community. This time around Pierre explores domestic violence and abuse against black women. Domestic violence is a crime that affects all races, socioeconomic levels, and cultures. But experts say that black women are at a greater risk to experience the grimmest of all domestic violence statistics. Black women are about 3x’s more likely to die at the hands of a partner than members of other racial groups. Even though domestic violence is not just an African-American problem, African-Americans are more disproportionately affected by it. But just like in his aforementioned book, Pierre didn’t just rely on statistics and the so-called experts for information, once again he went straight to the real source—The Black community. He interviewed black women and black men from all around the country to get their views, stories, lessons, and opinions on such a touchy and personal subject. Please join Pierre as he tries to save our sisters by expolring the causes and the solutions to domestic violence and abuse against black women.
