In this thought-provoking book, psychologist and scholar Jewelle
Taylor Gibbs puts the Rodney King and O. J. Simpson trials under
the microscope to show that the issue of race was at the very heart
of both of these emotionally charged cases. And, she observes,
given the racial and ethnic composition of the members of the two
juries, their verdicts were all but predictable in view of their
different experiences with the police.Race and Justice reviews the
turbulent events of the two so-called trials of the century and
examines them from a social and political framework of race
relations and police misconduct. The author points out that King
and Simpson, two apparently dissimilar men, came from remarkably
similar backgrounds. And she shows how their trials have linked
them forever as symbols of the different worlds inhabited by blacks
and whites in America. Gibbs's compelling analysis of the issues
that permeated these trials will challenge even the most cynical
observer to rethink any previously held assumptions about race and
the criminal justice system.
