The Impact of Police Killings on the Family and Community of Youth Victims: Justified [Hardcover]

Making vital connections between US colonialism, structured and deputized violence, history of policing, and armed resistance by grassroots movements, the authors highlights survivors voices in the exploration of police violence and homicide in the United States.

Rafael Outland and Thomas Noel, Jr. have produced a seminal work that sheds insights on a narrative of resistance that is not taught in schools, colleges and universities, until now. In fact, the current representatives of the corporate government seek to erase Black, Brown and Indigenous peoples contribution to the history of this country. It is this paradigm of government that Outland and Noel challenges in The Impact of Police Killings on the Family and Community of Youth Victims: JUSTIFIED, by giving voice to those who have fought back, resisted and sought to end systems of state-sanctioned violence, mass incarceration and ethnic-cleansing despite the fact this country's foundation is based on the aberrant philosophy of white supremacy, the genocidal annihilation of the Indigenous population and the enslavement of Afrikan people. JUSTIFIED, exposes and reveals the devastation of U.S. government policy that is based on the aberrant philosophy of white supremacy, and how this philosophy and praxis, at heart, is violent and anti-human.
