Description

Book Synopsis
Demonstrates how foundational policies in American history continue to work to the detriment of Black Americans - tying the racist foundations of America to discrimination in our criminal justice system and neighbourhoods.

Trade Review
A significant contribution to the study of racial and ethnic relations, Imprisoned will greatly assist readers in understanding the complexity of race relations in the United States. It also demonstrates that U.S. policing reform would need to consider entanglements with historically labeling black bodies as ‘criminal’ and the practice of segregating and patrolling black bodies very differently than any other racial and ethnic group in America." - Cameron D. Lippard, coeditor of Protecting Whiteness: Whitelash and the Rejection of Racial Equality

"Imprisoned makes an important contribution to the sociological literature on race and ethnicity, the criminal justice system, urban sociology, and racial residential segregation." - Rachelle J. Brunn-Bevel, coeditor of Intersectionality and Higher Education
