A Critical Synergy
Race, Decoloniality, and World Crises
Ali Meghji
September 2023 210pp
9781439922071 £23.99/ $27.95 PB

TEMPLE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Practitioners of decolonial theory and critical race theory (CRT) often use one or the other, but not both. Meghji suggests using the two theories in tandem rather than attempting to hierarchize or synthesize them. Doing so allows for the study of social phenomena in a way that captures their global and historical roots, while acknowledging their local, national, and contemporary particularities.

Race and Police corrects the Eurocentrism in the orthodox history of American police and in predominating critical theories of police. That orthodoxy begins with Sir Robert Peel and the London Metropolitan Police Service. Predating the Met by more than a century, America’s first police, often called slave patrols, did more than maintain order—it fabricated a racial order.
