The essays collected her effectively demonstrate how the painful history of racial injustice in america informs a black male’s encounter with virtually every aspect of our system of justice, from arrest, through prosecution and sentencing, to incarceration. This book is essential reading for all of us who love the concept of justice in america and seek for its practical applications to live up to its theoretical ideals.
From the black codes to capital punishment, specific policies and propaganda have serially violent overreactions to the mere sight and shape of black boys and men. Yet this volume contains hope the essays in this collection just might lead to the kind of understanding so necessary for the health and safety of all citizens, for trust in the institutions of law enforcement, and for the rehabilitation of justice itself.
