520 1 $a"In The Reckoning, Robinson provides insights into prominent Americans' roles in the crime and poverty that grip much of urban America, and rallies black Americans to speak out - and reach back - to ensure that the largely forgotten poor of black America get their chance at the American Dream. The Reckoning grew out of Robinson's work with gang members, ex-convicts, and others profoundly scarred by environments of extreme poverty and its unshakable shadow - crime.
520 8 $aThe Reckoning pays homage to residents of these neighborhoods waging heroic struggles to free their communities from economic blight and social pathology, and Robinson calls on black Americans of all ages and classes to join this crucial battle to bring the residents of America's inner cities to safe harbor. Robinson holds up for public examination America's elected officials' joining forces with corporate America to make prisons - largely populated by blacks and Hispanics - a twenty-first century growth industry.
520 8 $aAnd as our gaze is directed to dirt-poor rural towns all across America jump-starting their economies by constructing new prisons - to be filled with shipped-in black and Hispanic prisoners - we find it eerily reminiscent of a bygone, supremely exploitative era in our nation's history."--BOOK JACKET.
