"This Is the Nature of the Threat!": Black Male Gendercide, Social Dominance Theory, and the Evolutionary Origins of Inter-Group Conflict

Abstract:The following essay addresses the notion of Black male gendercide through the use of social dominance theory. An exploration of the evolutionary origins of inter-group conflict is explored and its utility in conducting critical analysis and research on Black men. This manuscript suggests that scholars should be mindful about theoretical methodologies that are racist, capitalist, patriarchies and the need for innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to inquiry.
