When They Don't Look Like Us: A Look at Urban Sociology and the Black Experience: Theory, Policy, Practice and Education
Cities tell stories. Stories of ambition, resilience, and survival. Yet, for many Black communities, these stories have been written in the margins, shaped by forces that deny their agency while exploiting their labor and culture. Urban sociology has long examined the dynamics of race and space, but too often, the lived experiences of Black people are reduced to statistics, stripped of complexity, and framed through deficit narratives.
Distracted Generation: Social Media's Grip on Black Minds and Culture
Distracted Generation by Delante Clark is a powerful exploration of how social media reshapes Black thought, creativity, identity, and collective possibility in the 21st century. Drawing from history, sociology, psychology, and lived experience, Clark argues that the modern attention economy has become one of the most influential forces acting on Black communities, rewarding outrage, amplifying trauma, commodifying culture, and fragmenting focus.
