Reviews

""Boutros' exemplary fieldwork lays bare the cracks in the armor of systemic, racialized, and discriminatory policing in France. With this book, she emerges as a vital new voice among the next generation of social scientists--deepening our understanding and thoughtfully illuminating the complexities of a long-denied societal problem and lived experience that extends well beyond France."" --Trica Keaton, Dartmouth College ""The Police, Activists, and Knowledge is a fascinating ethnography of struggles against racialized policing in France. Set against hegemonic racial denialism and police epistemic power, sociologist Magda Boutros shows how activist modes of knowledge production both enable and constrain claims-making for racial justice. Scholars and activists on both sides of the Atlantic will find many invaluable insights within its pages."" --Michael Rodríguez-Muñiz, University of California, Berkeley
