Overview

TAKE A STAND: Experience vs. Research By Quadricus T. Dean What happens when lived experience challenges academic research? In Take a Stand, Quadricus T. Dean delivers an unfiltered, unapologetic examination of the African American experience-told by someone who lived it, survived it, and reflected on it from the inside. Written during and after incarceration, this book confronts issues of identity, loyalty, isolation, family fractures, and systemic injustice through raw observation and personal truth. Dean challenges narratives shaped by statistics and theory, asking a simple but powerful question: Who gets to define our reality-those who study it, or those who endure it? Inside this book, readers will explore: - The difference between research and real-life experience - The emotional and social cost of incarceration - Black identity, loyalty, and fractured community bonds - Purpose, accountability, and standing firm in one's truth Take a Stand is not written to be comfortable. It's written to be honest. This book is for readers who believe lived experience matters, voices from the margins deserve to be heard, and truth doesn't need permission.
