- Authors
Sargent, Andrew
- Abstract
Presents literary criticism of the novel "White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief" by Donald Goines, particularly of how interracial prison rape is represented in the novel. The historical context of the novel and the racial and sexual dynamics of U.S. prisons in the early 1970s is discussed. The 1974 study "Hacks, Blacks, and Cons" by Leo Carroll, is stated to have been the first to look at interracial prison rape.
