Beyond Lip Service cover

This book underscores the importance of moving beyond lip service or hollow platitudes to mobilize and expand the capacity of social justice movements to foster policy change and incubate new programs at the local, state, and federal levels.

In the wake of global protests spurred by acts of police brutality in the United States, present-day problematic policing and racial injustice in Black and Brown communities surged to the forefront of political discourse in recent years. Institutionalized backlash politics, which emerged during the post-Civil Rights era, perpetuated and further exacerbated generations-long racial disparities and stymied systemic change. This edited volume describes pilot programs and community-based initiatives that show promise as tools for equity and racial justice in Black and Brown communities.

This book will be of great value to scholars and academics interested in racism, justice, community development and social work. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Community Practice.
