“…Community education on the impact of FV on children and subsequent mental health issues could lead to the development of innovative community-based supports and intervention strategies (Ahmad et al, 2009;Mehta et al, 2021;Thandi, 2012). Such efforts at education and awareness building are needed in various languages and made available in multiple media such as radio, TV, and social media (Ryan, et al, 2012).…”

<p>Intended to fill the existing gap in knowledge, the book, “Breaking the silence: The untold journeys of racialized immigrant youth through family violence,” is a Phenomenological research study that sheds light on the experiences and agency of twelve racialized immigrant youths as they navigated family violence in their childhood. By bringing together theoretical frameworks, such as Anti-Colonialism, Critical Race Theory, A rights Based approach to children and Anti-Oppressive practice, with concepts of the Best Interest of the Child and Coercive Control, the book provides an insight into the impacts of family violence and how these experiences are complicated by systemic violence in case of racialized immigrant children. The book provides a way forward for the Justice sector to broaden the concept of the best interest of the child and recognize systemic violence in family violence matters. A unique contribution of the book is the participants’ recommendations that call for transforming practices of sectors that address family violence along with work with communities and individuals. </p>

This article describes some of the author’s experiences in 18 years of working with diverse community groups around issues of racial disparities in criminal justice. It argues that academics can play important roles in locating and sharing knowledge about community issues, in provoking discussions, in carrying knowledge between groups, and in actively attending to the voices of those who are most oppressed and marginalized. It highlights the value of bringing new knowledge into a discussion and the tensions that arise as people in different positions seek solutions to identified problems. Academics in community groups should be understood as a type of privileged ally who experiences cross pressures like those of other activist professionals. A stance of reflexive humility is recommended.
