Franklin Frazier, W.E.B. Du Bois, and the Atlanta School of Sociology scholars from across the country wed Black Sociology with critical demography within an Africana Demography framework. Contributors speak to innovative ways to address pressing issues and have the added benefit of affording many of the scholars denied their rightful place in the sociological and demographic canons. Specifically, the book includes an introduction outlining Africana demography and chapters that provide a critique of conventional demographic approaches to understanding race and social institutions, such as the family, religion, and the criminal justice system.      Contributors include: Lori Latrice Martin, Anthony Hill, Melinda Jackson-Jefferson, Maretta McDonald, Weldon McWilliams, Jack S. Monell, Edward Muhammad, Brianne Painia, Tifanie Pulley, David I. Rudder, Jas M. Sullivan, Arthur Whaley, and Deadric Williams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements   List of Figures and Tables   Notes on Contributors     Introduction   Lori Latrice Martin    Part 1: Africana Demography and Migration, Fertility, and Mortality     1 Carceral Migration: an Africana Demographic Reframing of Post-release Pathways for Formerly Incarcerated Populations   Brianne Painia     2 Child Support Enforcement as Social Control: Black Fathers and Multi-partner Fertility   Maretta McDonald    Part 2: Africana Demography and Policing     3 Us versus Them: “We Are More Fearful of the Police than the Actual Criminals”   Melinda Jackson-Jefferson     4 Policing the Black Community: History, Reality, and the Rudiments of Change   Edward Muhammad and Jack S.
