This book reflects current concerns and issues in this subject area around racism and police violence, abolitionist theory, environmental studies, environmental justice, and critical animal studies, but what is so exciting about this project is that it pushes all of those ideas in new and generative directions. This volume is highly original and groundbreaking because it brings together concerns and issue areas that are not usually connected--race and policing with environmental justice. This book would work well in courses on Critical Criminology, Critical Prison Studies, From the Plantation to the Prison, Power/Justice/Environment, Environmental Justice, Social Theory, Social Inequality, Social Problems, and Critical Animal Studies, among many others, and at the undergraduate and graduate level. This book is unique in that it centers the problem of policing as a form of racial injustice and race-making that demonstrates how those practices are linked to environmental injustice and the defense of civilization and the social order.
