KHALIL GIBRAN MUHAMMAD’S/The Condemnation of Blackness/is a fresh and
fierce study of one of the most enduring lies in American society: the
deliberate statistical fusion of criminality with Blackness.
Originally published in 2010 and reissued in 2019 with a new preface by
the author, the book dates this toxic conflation of race and
mathematical inquiry to the 19th century in the urban North where crime
records offered new ways to constrain Black progress — an effort to
spread public fear driven not by concern for public safety but by the
terrifying specter of Black freedom.
