Recensioner i media

"Exceptionally well-written, this book provides an overview of both historical and contemporary African American criminologists and their contributions to the study of crime and justice. The work breaks new ground in exposing readers to African American scholarship that has been neglected previously by mainstream scholars. The strength of the book lies in the biographical information, where personal accounts provide a rich social context for each scholar while outlining the reasons and events that sparked their interests in the study of crime and justice." — Lee E. Ross, editor of African American Criminologists, 1970–1996
