The high rates of Black arrests and incarceration from 1960-1990
were a direct result of deliberate government policies and a
zealous criminal justice system, under the patriotic umbrella of
the War on Crime. This stateside war shared a lot of similarities
with the Vietnam war happening simultaneously: racism and extreme
cruelty towards those seen as the enemy, deprecation of the others'
culture, forceful use of a militarized police with combat
experience, repeated failure to observe human rights, and mass
incarceration. Unfortunately, this conflict continued long after
the Vietnam war ended. This book reviews those dark times,
analyzing it's causes, short- and long-term effects, and calls for
change.
