- Savage portrayals : race, media, and the Central Park jogger story / by Byfield, Natalie P.,1960-author.(CARDINAL)802282;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-226) and index.Reconnecting new forms of inequality to their roots -- A jogger is raped in Central Park -- The position of the black man in the cult of (white) womanhood -- Salvaging the "savage": a racial frame that refuses to die -- A participant observes how contentemerges -- The "facts" emerge to convict the innocent -- The case falls apart: media's brief mea culpa -- Selling savage portrayals: incorporating young black males in the carceral state -- They didn't do it!In 1989, the rape and beating of a white female jogger in Central Park made international headlines. Many accounts reported the incident as an example of ٢wilding٣-episodes of poor, minority youths roaming the streets looking for trouble. Police intent on immediate justice for the victim coerced five African-American and Latino boys to plead guilty. The teenage boys were quickly convicted and imprisoned. Natalie Byfield, who covered the case for the New York Daily News, now revisits the story of the Central Park Five from her perspective as a black female reporter in Savage Portrayals. Byfield illuminates the race, class, and gender bias in the massive media coverage of the crime and the prosecution of the now-exonerated defendants. Her sociological analysis and first-person account persuasively argue that the racialized reportage of the case buttressed efforts to try juveniles as adults across the nation. Savage Portrayals casts new light on this famous crime and its far-reaching consequences for the wrongly accused and the justice system.- Subjects: Case studies.; African Americans in mass media.; Central Park Jogger Rape Trial, New York, N.Y., 1990; Discrimination in criminal justice administration; Hispanic Americans in mass media.; Racism; Rape; Violent crimes; Racism.; Sexual assault.;

- Pushout : the criminalization of Black girls in schools / by Morris, Monique W.,1972-author.(CARDINAL)663281;
"Fifteen-year-old Diamond stopped going to school the day she was expelled for lashing out at peers who constantly harassed and teased her for something everyone on the staff had missed: she was being trafficked for sex. After months on the run, she was arrested and sent to a detention center for violating a court order to attend school. Black girls represent 16 percent of female students but almost half of all girls with a school-related arrest. The first trade book to tell these untold stories, Pushout exposes a world of confined potential and supports the growing movement to address the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures. For four years Monique W. Morris, author of Black Stats, chronicled the experiences of black girls across the country whose intricate lives are misunderstood, highly judged-by teachers, administrators, and the justice system-and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Morris shows how, despite obstacles, stigmas, stereotypes, and despair, black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond.
