Killing African Americans

Police and Vigilante Violence as a Racial Control Mechanism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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 systemic racism. Noel Cazenave's well researched and conceptualized historical sociological study focuses exclusively on these killings and treats them as political violence. With current race relations strained to a near breaking point, Killing African Americans is timely and relevant for students and scholars, as well as activists, politicians, analysts, and professionals within law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
