POLICING THE BLACK MAN Arrest, Prosecution, and Imprisonment

Professor Davis collects a powerful range of authors with critical legal perspectives that unpack the how racist ideology has been intertwined with the legal system throughout history and into the present. Robin Miles and Kevin Kenerly trade off narrating the essays according to each author's gender. Miles's matter-of-fact voice is coupled with a skill for timing and emphasis that makes the points being made resonate with the listener. Kenerly's deep and soft voice doesn't deliver the same punch that Miles's does but still provides a consistent and engaging narration. Amid the current racial tension in the U.S., Davis's collection articulates the ways that black men are legally disenfranchised and, as a result, culturally disregarded.
