En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the historical criminalization of Black uprisings in major cities, focusing on the responses of public officials to racial tensions and crime. It highlights how liberal mayors, particularly Fiorello H. La Guardia, navigated public fears during the Great Depression and wartime, leading to increased police presence in Black neighborhoods. While Black communities sought protection and equitable resources, they were often met with punitive measures instead. This backdrop culminated in the significant Harlem uprising of 1943, reflecting deep-rooted societal issues.
