The 12 essays in this provocative anthology aim to show the pervasiveness of the problem. The contributors--prominent academics, activists, writers, and a retired black police officer--trace the roots of police presence in African American communities from slavery to the present and demonstrate how the racialization of crime has justified and perpetuated police brutality.
