Reviews for Pulled Over: How Police Stops Define Race and Citizenship (Chicago Series in Law and Society)
"Pulled Over succeeds in providing convincing evidence-the most exhaustive to date-demonstrating how pernicious racism can be at an institutional level without anyone specifically intending that result and with the intention perhaps running in the opposite direction. The book should be of interest to everyone concerned about the way American institutions perpetuate racism." (Doris Marie Provine, Arizona State University)"
