Please join us to celebrate Nicholson Center Faculty Affiliate Julian Go’s new book Policing Empires: Militarization, Race, and the Imperial Boomerang in Britain and the US. The event will be held at the Seminary Co-Op Bookstore, Thursday, November 2nd, 6-7pm.

Professor Go offers a postcolonial historical sociology of police militarization in the US and Britain that emphasizes how expanding our history of police into the imperial frame can reveal how coercive law enforcement institutions developed in the colonial context were transported back to the metropole in a response to perceived racialized threats of minority and immigrant communities.
