Why are there so many divisions America? What can we do to fix these divisions that are tearing the U.S. apart? FRACTURED AMERICA discusses these many divisions and how to fix them. It begins by looking at the first racial divide going back to Civil War times. Then, it fast forwards to discuss the present conflicts, such as the controversy over the killings of blacks by cops and the Black Lives Matter movement. It describes the difficulty of ending segregation and ending or delaying affirmative action. Additionally, the book points out other divides based on: - geography and politics, including the nationality and language divides caused by undocumented immigrants, - the North-South divide, - the division between the Coasts and Middle America, - rural and urban American differences, - conflicts between different ethnic groups, - lifestyles of younger and older generations. - the income inequality between the rich and poor, which is getting wider. The book concludes with some suggestions for reforming the system. These are fixes that are desperately needed, as uncivility and violence between groups are getting worse -- unless we do something to create a new unity in the U.S. This book will help you think of ways to heal the growing divisions.

Autorenporträt
Paul Brakke is a scientist based in the Little Rock, Arkansas area. He became interested in studying the criminal justice system because, as described in his first book American Justice?, his life was turned upside down by the system. He has previously told his wife's story along with a critique of the criminal justice system in American Justice? After that, Brakke went on to look at other problems in the system and the country in general and how to fix them. His other books include: Crime in America, Fractured America, The Costly U.S. Prison System, Fixing the U.S. Criminal Justice System, Dealing with Illegal Immigration and the Opioid Crisis, The Price of Justice in America, and Cops Aren't Such Bad Guys. To publish them, he set up a publishing company American Leadership Books, featuring books on criminal justice and social issues, which are available in print and e-books through Amazon, Ingram, Kindle, and other major distributors. Since these first books were directed primarily at law enforcement professionals, politicians, and academics, Brakke is now developing a series of books on criminal justice to appeal to the general public, especially to conservatives. The books' website is: www.americanleadershipbooks.com.
