Today, we celebrate diversity in our nation because of the Civil Rights Movement of the twentieth century.

A comprehensive, readable analysis of the key issues of the Black Lives Matter movement, this thought-provoking and compelling anthology features essays by some of the nation’s most influential and respected criminal justice experts and legal scholars.“Somewhere among the anger, mourning and malice that Policing the Black Man documents lies the pursuit of justice. This powerful book demands our fierce attention.” —Toni MorrisonPolicing the Black Man explores and critiques the many ways the criminal justice system impacts the lives of African American boys and men at every stage of the criminal process, from arrest through sentencing. Essays range from an explication of the historical roots of racism in the criminal justice system to an examination of modern-day police killings of unarmed black men. The contributors discuss and explain racial profiling, the power and discretion of police and prosecutors, the role of implicit bias, the racial impact of police and prosecutorial decisions, the disproportionate imprisonment of black men, the collateral consequences of mass incarceration, and the Supreme Court’s failure to provide meaningful remedies for the injustices in the criminal justice system. Policing the Black Man is an enlightening must-read for anyone interested in the critical issues of race and justice in America.

After the passage of sweeping civil rights and voting rights legislation in 1964 and 1965, the civil rights movement stood poised to build on considerable momentum. In a famous speech at Howard University in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared that victory in the next battle for civil rights would be measured in ""equal results"" rather than equal rights and opportunities. It seemed that for a brief moment the White House and champions of racial equality shared the same objectives and priorities. Finding common ground proved elusive, however, in a climate of growing social and political

Après le scandale des prisons d'Afghanistan, de Guantanamo à Cuba et d'Abou Ghraïb en Irak, qui a révélé torture et violations des droits de l'homme, Angela Davis examine en quoi les prisons américaines sont le miroir d'un modèle démocratique fondé sur les inégalités sociales et raciales. Analyse du régime carcéral américain, critique d'un système qui bâtit des complexes pénitentiaires sur les ruines tenaces d'un passé esclavagiste, mise en cause d'une démocratie qui perpétue les inégalités à travers des institutions conçues comme un outil de contrôle de populations... Après l'abolition de l'esclavage, Angela Davis plaide ici pour le nouvel enjeu démocratique : abolir torture et prisons. Membre des Blacks Panthers et du Parti communiste américain, Angela Davis a été condamnée en 1970 à la peine capitale comme " ennemi d'État ". Après seize mois de détention, elle doit son acquittement et sa libération à une gigantesque mobilisation internationale. Figure mythique de la pensée progressiste et antiraciste américaine, elle enseigne aujourd'hui à l'université de Californie.
