Fractured Communities:

Dissecting the Ripple Effects of Gun Violence

This book is a fusion of conviction, struggles, and commitment towards the ideals of community healing. Within the pages of this book, Rev. Sky Starr demonstrates her commitment to the healing of communities. As a community advocate and trauma specialist, her work exemplifies the ideology that community healing is a natural part of community development. For racialized communities devastated by gun violence exposure, death, and injuries, this development is wrapped up in the politics of race that hampers community healing.

The modern politics of gun violence, primarily related to race and criminality, takes away from the social and psychological impacts of gun violence on individuals, families, and communities. Rev. Starr compels us to re-examine, reframe, and redefine the issue of gun violence from a humanistic perspective, by settling on the heart of the matter-the traumatic impact of violence on communities. She challenges us to think of the centrality of the impacts on affected communities, and calls attention to the urgency for social change.
