Domestic Genocide

In Domestic Genocide, incarcerated author Ivan Kilgore examines how societal forces such as capitalism and white supremacy have worked to “institutionalize” Black communities. Kilgore articulates the ways in which racial capitalism works to limit the resources that Black communities have access to, forcing many of the poor in these communities to turn towards drugs, violence, and crime to survive. In many ways, these paths are not tread by choice, but, given the constraints and punitive nature of racial capitalism, Black people have no other options.
