Condición: Fine. First edition in publisher's original red stiff card wrap covers [soft back], burgundy end papers. 8vo. 8½'' x 6''. At least twenty-nine black children and young adults were murdered by an Atlanta serial killer between the summer of 1979 and the spring of 1981. Drawing national media attention, the 'Atlanta trag…edy' as it became known, was immediately labelled a hate crime. However, when a young black man was arrested and convicted for the killings, public attention quickly shifted. Noted criminologist Bernard Headley was in Atlanta as the tragedy unfolded and provides here a thoughtful exploration of the social and political implications of the case both locally and nationally. Focusing on a singular historical event, Headley exposes broader tensions of race and class in contemporary America. Contains [xviii]-2 241 [i] printed pages of text with monochrome photographs to the central pages. In Fine condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A. ISBN 0809323192 TRUE CRIME.
