| Summary |
"This book's radical theory of police argues that the police demand for order is a class order and a racialized and patriarchal order. To maintain it, they must patrol an imaginary line between society and nature and transform nature into inert matter made available for accumulation. Police don't just patrol the ghetto or the Indian reservation, and the thin blue line doesn't just refer to a social order. Rather, police announce a general claim to domination--of labor and of nature. Police and police violence are modes of environment making. This edited volume argues that any effort to understand racialized police violence is incomplete without a focus on the role of police in constituting and reinforcing patterns of environmental racism."--Back cover. |
