A book review/Analysis of All Gods Children The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence by Fox Butterfield Name of Author Institutional affiliation A book review/Analysis of All Gods Children The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence by Fox Butterfield Authored by Fox Butterfield and published by Vintage books in the year 2008, All Gods Children The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence is probably one of the most outstanding texts in the areas of social science and criminology. In a total of 389 pages, Butterfield seeks to express the fundamentals of a tradition that has habitually been characterized by counts and episodes of violence and crime. In seeking to review the underlying factors that are causative of violence, he achieves a writing that tells the story of how violence can cumulatively affect a society when inherited. In this review, he tackles a transcending trend over five generations of black Americans that have lived in the culture of violence. Not only does he explore the causative factors of this violence and its inheritance but also analyses the effects of the violence in the American society (Regoli, Hewitt DeLisi, 200
