Recenzii
"The stories in Black in Blue, from the previously unheard voices of African-Americans who dared to become police officers in the South, will make you angry and make you cry, but most importantly, they will give you hope in the power of the human spirit to break free of the bonds of prejudice and stereotype." -- David Cole, author of No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System
"In their thoughtful qualitative analysis, Bolton and Feagin tackle an important, though largely overlooked topic--the lived experiences of Black police officers. Their research exposes the personal and social costs of men in blue engaging in business as usual." -- Katheryn Russell-Brown, University of Florida
"Black in Blue brilliantly breaks an unwitnessed silence about the price and potential of piercing the color barrier of policing in America, where the battle against injustice persists behind the badge of justice itself. Bolton and Feagin allow the poignant voices of stoic African-American police officers to boldly articulate the challenges within legal institutions that are still brutally divided by race." -- John Hagan, author of Northern Passage: American Vietnam War Resisters in Canada
"Black in Blue offers and intensive look into the struggles blacks still face with acceptance from their white counterparts in positions of power and influence...This is a much-needed book that provides a controversial and harsh reality about the often glamorized realm of law enforcement." -- Black Diaspora
