In the United States, racial profiling affects thousands of Americans every day. Both individuals and institutionsβsuch as law enforcement agencies, government bodies, and schoolsβroutinely use race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of an offense.
The high-profile deaths of unarmed people of color at the hands of police officers have brought renewed national attention to racial profiling and have inspired grassroots activism from groups such as Black Lives Matter. Combining rigorous research with powerful personal stories, this insightful title explores the history, the many manifestations, and the consequences of this form of social injustice.
