These 7 essays examine a number of the facets of the Seymour Avenue kidnapping case that occurred in Cleveland, OH, which made headlines around the world when 3 women and a child were rescued alive in May of 2013 after years of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. There is also an analysis of the public persona of the now-imprisoned perpetrator, Ariel Castro, who was personally known to the author. The purpose of the book is to prompt the reader to examine their presuppositions about race, class, and gender, and also to prod them towards introspection as to their role in the world.
