Description of Presumed Criminal: Black Youth and the Justice System in Postwar New York
Review 'A timely and critically important origins story of how black youth became over-policed and under-protected in one of the most liberal cities in America. They were victims of institutional racism and an increasingly hostile police force that refused to protect their right to protest and organize for racial justice. Young people�s bitter awakening to racial consciousness at the end of a police baton is, as Carl Suddler skillfully shows, the starting point for understanding why stop-and-frisk first made its debut in New York City over a half-century ago.' (Khalil Gibran Muhammad, author of The Condemnation of Blackness)'Provides a direct historical context not only to understand mass incarceration but particularly the anti-black violence against black youth and the BlackLivesMatter movement.' (Shannon King, author of Whose Harlem Is This, Anyway?)'Suddler avoids jargon, so the narrative is accessible; the details in the book will provide starting points for many research papers. This is a book for those interested in law enforcement, New York City, African American studies, masculinity studies, late 20th-century US history, and, sadly, current events.' (Choice)'The great value of this work is not only its rich historical analysis, but that this subject, this history, speaks so clearly and directly to the experiences of black youth today.' (Hasan Kwame Jeffries, author of Bloody Lowndes)'In this powerful, timely, and deeply unsettling recovery of America�s criminal justice past, Suddler shines vital new light on the present. By brilliantly revealing the nation�s postwar effort to deal with troubled young people more humanely, this book forces us to face the extent to which the presumption of black criminality utterly undermined that effort and thereafter ensured that black boys and girls would forever be ensnared in a fundamentally unjust juvenile justice system.' (Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer Prize�winning author of Blood in the Water) Read more About the Author Carl Suddler is Assistant Professor of History at Emory University. Read more
