Contents:
The frayed Thin Blue Line -- Policing capitalist society -- Making consumers and criminals : the postwar urban transformation and the origins of policing as we know it -- The roots of Black Lives Matter : racial liberalism and the problem of surplus population -- The world of Freddie Gray : dispossession, rebellion and containment in revanchist Baltimore -- Whose streets? Building the just city in Rahm Emanuel's Chicago and beyond -- The labor of occupation -- Abolish the conditions.
Summary: "The historic uprising in the wake of the murder of George Floyd transformed the way Americans and the world think about race and policing. Why did it achieve so little in the way of substantive reforms? Cedric Johnson argues that this shortcoming was not simply due to the mercurial and reactive character of the protests. Rather, the core of the movement itself failed to locate the central racial injustice that underpins the crisis of policing: socio-economic inequality"-- Provided by publisher.
