Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research examines the unbroken historical link and connection of policing as an institution in the African American community. From slavery to the present, there has always been a history of police malevolence in African American communities. Although African Americans are no longer slaves, we cannot overlook the glaring similarities of slave patrols who over policed African slaves and freed Blacks in the framework of peace and order with violence and the over-policing of African Americans in contemporary America with violence and force at disproportional rates. My research method involved the historical comparison of an oath of the slave patroller and the contemporary officer and its symbolization of power, allegiance, and transformation. In this case, the document comparisons establish a time, date, and unbroken pattern of behaviour to piece the puzzle together to explain that the long-term historical continuity is only a reproduction and duration of an institution that once policed slaves and freed Blacks during slafigure very and that now polices African Americans in contemporary America."--Abstract from author supplied metadata

Book excerpt: An NBA veteran offers engaging interviews and reflections that explore police brutality, white supremacy, and the struggle for racial justice in America. "Thomas's interviews demand careful reading by all who want to expose racism, hold police accountable, and create an American society that practices social justice." —Library Journal, a Best Book of the Year in Political Science/Civil Rights "My family and I are extremely grateful for the support and love from my brother in the movement, Etan Thomas." —Emerald Garner, daughter of Eric Garner Etan Thomas, an eleven-year NBA veteran and lifelong advocate for social justice, weaves together his personal experiences with police violence and white supremacy with multiple interviews of family members of victims of police brutality like exonerated Central Park Five survivor Raymond Santana and Rodney King’s daughter Lora Dene King; as well as activist athletes and other public figures such as Steph Curry, Chuck D, Isiah Thomas, Sue Bird, Jake Tapper, Jemele Hill, Stan Van Gundy, Kyle Korver, Mark Cuban, Rick Strom, and many more. Thomas speaks with retired police officers about their efforts to change policing, and white allies about their experiences with privilege and their ability to influence other white people. Thomas also examines the history of racism, white supremacy, and the prevalence of both in the current moment. He looks at the origins of white supremacy in the US, dating back to the country’s inception, and explores how it was interwoven into Christianity--interviewing leading voices both in and outside of the church. Finally, with prominent voices in the media and education, Thomas discusses the continued cultivation of these injustices in American society. Police Brutality and White Supremacy demands accountability and justice for those responsible for and impacted by police violence and terror. It offers practical solutions to work against the promotion of white supremacy in law enforcement, Christianity, early education, and across the public sphere.

Download or read book Killing African Americans written by Noel A. Cazenave and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Killing African Americans examines the pervasive, disproportionate, and persistent police and vigilante killings of African Americans in the United States as a racial control mechanism that sustains the racial control system of systemic racism. Noel A. Cazenave’s well-researched and conceptualized historical sociological study is one of the first books to focus exclusively on those killings and to treat them as political violence. Few issues have received as much conventional and social media attention in the United States over the past few years or have, for decades now, sparked so many protests and so often strained race relations to a near breaking point. Because of both its timely and its enduring relevance, Killing African Americans can reach a large audience composed not only of students and scholars, but also of Movement for Black Lives activists, politicians, public policy analysts, concerned police officers and other criminal justice professionals, and anyone else eager to better understand this American nightmare and its solutions from a progressive and informed African American perspective.

Download or read book Imprisoned written by Cassi A. Meyerhoffer and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several years, the United States has experienced a surge in bystander videos that have captured incidents of police brutality and prejudice directed largely at Black people. Public outrage surrounding police brutality persists as these incidents continue to reach the public eye. As public discourse around police brutality and racial inequality largely centers on specific events, there is a dearth of information about systemic racism and how race and racism pervade every single aspect of American life. How Black people are often treated by law enforcement is reflective of larger historical racial inequities and injustices that extend far beyond the criminal justice system and intersect with how Black people access housing, occupy public spaces, and are treated in American public schools. Imprisoned: Interlocking Oppression in Law Enforcement, Housing, and Public Educationfocuses on contemporary systemic racism as it relates to how the U.S. criminal justice system, housing system, and education system intersect to create a matrix of inequality for Black people. To illustrate the systemic nature of racism in American policing and communities, this book highlights contemporary policies and practices that intersect with residential segregation and public schooling that continue to affect Black people on a large-scale, structural level—demonstrating the extent to which the United States criminal justice system is tied to where people live and how they are treated and educated in public schools.
Download or read book Black LIves White Supremacy and the American Fiction written by Brenda Wall and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Lives, White Supremacy and the American Fiction was written in the aftermath of the killing of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile from the Dallas, Texas community, which witnessed both peace and tragedy surrounding the killing of five Dallas law enforcement officers. It was finalized post Trump election and inauguration. With the dynamics of white supremacy becoming more overt and more widely recognized, it remains clear that its relationship to Black bodies remains woefully misunderstood. This text crystallizes the history of white supremacy from enslavement through Jim Crow to current mass incarceration of African American men. What is unique about this analysis is the psychological consideration of the psychopathology of white supremacy as it impacts the white community in both extreme and accepted practices. The American Fiction has captured ideals, which have been widely celebrated, but have never been a reality. Confronting this truth, permits real solution and healing as new perspectives are understood, respected and begin to empower a nation, which continues to be at risk of moral bankruptcy.

Book excerpt: Named one of the most important nonfiction books of the 21st century by Entertainment Weekly‚ Slate‚ Chronicle of Higher Education‚ Literary Hub, Book Riot‚ and Zora A tenth-anniversary edition of the iconic bestseller—"one of the most influential books of the past 20 years," according to the Chronicle of Higher Education—with a new preface by the author "It is in no small part thanks to Alexander's account that civil rights organizations such as Black Lives Matter have focused so much of their energy on the criminal justice system." —Adam Shatz, London Review of Books Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Most important of all, it has spawned a whole generation of criminal justice reform activists and organizations motivated by Michelle Alexander's unforgettable argument that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." As the Birmingham News proclaimed, it is "undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S." Now, ten years after it was first published, The New Press is proud to issue a tenth-anniversary edition with a new preface by Michelle Alexander that discusses the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today.
Download or read book Policing White Supremacy written by Mike German and published by . This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former FBI agent's urgent call for law enforcement to prioritize far-right violence and end tolerance for police racism As a long-serving FBI agent, Mike German worked undercover in white supremacist and militia groups, developing a deep understanding of their mindsets and strategies. In Policing White Supremacy, German issues a wake-up call about law enforcement's dangerously lax approach to far-right violence. Because the FBI refuses to prioritize violence by white supremacists, it can continue to use its domestic terrorism powers to target much less violent groups, such as Black Lives Matter and environmental activists. By contrast, far-right militants have committed over one hundred deadly acts just since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and attempted to obstruct transfer of power to a duly elected U.S. president. Noting that the FBI does not even compile accurate national data on white supremacist violence, German exposes tolerance of overt racism in law enforcement and police membership in white supremacist organizations. The threat these officers pose became clear when at least nineteen current and former law enforcement officials participated in the January 6 breach of the Capitol. A book with profound relevance as we head into what is sure to be a contentious presidential election, Policing White Supremacy urges us to recognize and address a serious threat to democracy.
