Description of Occupied Territory: Policing Black Chicago from Red Summer to Black Power (Justice, Power, and Politics)
Review Balto's rich book dives specifically into the deep-seated historical relationship between blacks and the Chicago Police. Balto . . . hits every nail on the head and into the plank for good measure, dicing up facts about police brutality from the 1900s and sifting them with historical photos, quotes and stories of innocent black youth who only wanted equal treatment and better work opportunities.--NewcityOffers a sweeping account of a century of dishonor by the CPD [Chicago Police Department].--Criminal Law and Criminal Justice BooksUsing Chicago as a quintessential case study of black versus police relationships, Balto unfolds the grisly saga of police repression, one that the author uniquely dates back to the early 20th century. . . . Well-written, highly convincing, and richly documented.--Choice Reviews Read more Review Simon Balto's study of twentieth-century black Chicago provides new insights into the historical roots of police abuse in black communities while challenging scholarship that posits the mid-twentieth century as a turning point for deteriorating relationships between the police and black Americans. This beautifully written history is a model of clarity and moral passion.--Beryl Satter, author of Family Properties: How the Struggle over Race and Real Estate Transformed Chicago and Urban AmericaThe last several years have seen important histories written about the rise of mass incarceration in the United States, but what has been missing are studies that deepen our understanding of�American policing. Simon Balto offers a much-needed history of policing in Chicago, clearly articulating the connection between the Chicago Police Department's record�of racism and abuse and its contemporary crisis of police brutality.--Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of Race for Profit and From BlackLivesMatter to Black LiberationAs police violence gains much-needed attention across the nation, this book provides crucial context for the ways in which these issues are not new. Using the War on Crime as 'an endpoint rather than a launching pad,' Balto gives a harrowing, meticulously researched account of the way the roots of policing have been deeply violent and more preoccupied with social control than with safety since the inception of the institution. It is a disturbing history, which makes it all the more urgent. This is an important read for anyone who wants to understand how we arrived at this dispiriting state--and how we might ever possibly escape its grasp.--Eve L. Ewing, author of Ghosts in the Schoolyard: Racism and School Closings on Chicago's South SideA timely and important history, Balto skillfully creates an original interpretation of race and policing as well as the campaigns waged against racism and political repression by the black freedom struggle in twentieth-century Chicago that will be widely read.--Jordan T. Camp, author of Incarcerating the Crisis: Freedom Struggles and the Rise of the Neoliberal State Read more See all Editorial Reviews
