"Published on the second anniversary of the global protests over the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, UNREASONABLE is a ground-breaking investigation of the role that the U.S. Constitution plays in the epidemic of police violence against Black people. In this crucially timely book, celebrated legal scholar Devon W. Carbado explains how the Fourth Amendment became ground zero for regulating police conduct -- more important than Miranda warnings, the right to counsel, equal protection, and due process. Fourth Amendment law determines when and how the police can make arrests, stop-and-frisk, conduct traffic stops, and employ deadly force -- and Fourth Amendment law legitimizes the treatment of Black people as what the book calls 'runaway criminals.' Drawing on the narratives behind and the outcomes of key Supreme Court cases that everyone should know, Carbado shows how, in the last four decades, the Supreme Court has interpreted the Fourth Amendment to protect police officers, not African Americans; how the Fourth Amendment sanctions racialized policing; and how that amendment has become a body of constitutional law that manages the precarious line between stopping Black people and killing Black people. Accessible, compelling, and essential reading, UNREASONABLE offers a 'people's' account of the Fourth Amendment that sheds light on a critical but rarely understood dimension of a pressing social issue."--The book jacket

A compilation of 12 first-person accounts of the runaway slave phenomenon spanning eight decades. Told in the voices of the runaway slaves themselves, these narratives reveal the extraordinary and often innovative ways that these men and women sought freedom and demanded citizenship. Also included is an essay by UCLA history professor Brenda Stevenson that contextualizes these narratives, as well as a look into the daily life of a slave. Divided into four categories--running away for family, running inspired by religion, running by any means necessary, and running to be free-these stories are a testament to the indelible spirit of these remarkable survivors.
